In Windows 98, if I wanted to marshall maximum resources for a single
computation-intensive task (and I was physically disconnected from the net) I
would do a 'naked boot'.

In that case, is it possible to create a duplicate of my admin account and
leave it in a permanent state of 'clean boot', or does meddling with msconfig
affect all accounts simultaneously?
(As you may have guessed, I am not much of a sysadmin.)

Type "Hardware Profile" in help and support. Does that help you?

In addition to clean boot, you may want to consider using Device Manager to
create different hardware profiles.

Thanks. I'll have to think about this.
