Not loading any TSR's anywhere. My batch file that runs my mailer does it,
the batch file that runs GoldED does it, the batch file that runs FastEcho
does it, and any other batch file that runs from a desktop shortcut or any
batch file that is spawned from a Windows program does it. Any shortcuts
directly to a DOS executable doesn't do it. But the problem only exists in
the DOS based versions of Windows, it doesn't happen in NT or 2000.

Very strange...
