Why would you want to reduce your system's memory? Well, suppose you have a large number of computers that you'd like to use with Windows NT 4.0, and you'd like to know if they'll run all the necessary applications with a minimal amount of RAM. But there you are, with your computer all filled with RAM.

To see how your applications would run in something like 16 MB, open the Explorer and go to the root folder. Locate Boot.INI and rename it to Boot.TXT so you'll have a backup copy. Now double-click Boot.TXT to open it. The file should resemble the one shown here.

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=10
Default=C:\
[Operating Systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"

Navigate to the end of the quoted part of the WINNT line and add /MAXMEM=16 as shown below. (Anything below 16 is way too slow).

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=10
Default=C:\
[Operating Systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" /MAXMEM=16

Now save the file as Boot.INI and restart Windows NT.
