Windows drop-down menus fall to the right of the menu name. This can be a bit of a problem for left handed users. To have the menus drop down to the left of the menu name, add the following line to the [Windows] section of the WIN.INI file using Notepad.
MenuDropAlignment=1
Remember to Save the Win.ini file afterwards, then reboot Windows for the change to take effect

 

Even the best of us sometimes forget that we're running DOS from the MSDOS Windows prompt and we try to type WIN to restart windows. To cure this problem, open the Autoexec.bat file from within Notepad and add this comment below your regular prompt=$p$g line:
