Please help. winbootdir will not die!
"set winbootdir=" does not work; it thinks you want to work with a variable called WINBOOTDIR and it leaves winbootdir unscathed.
The reason I'm trying to delete the variable is to save memory when loading TSR's - about 64-80 bytes can be saved per TSR. After the TSR's are loaded I want to restore the variable.
Any ideas?

This is an old post so I'm not sure your even looking or that it will work but you might try this.
Locate the msdos.sys file for the boot drive/disk. Run attrib -s -h -r msdos.sys on it and edit it.
Locate that line that says winbootdir= and even windir= and either remove them or what is to the right of the = operator.
That may prevent them from being set in the first place. Hope that helps.
