Put Your Win NT Boot On
When you install Windows NT and Windows 95 on the same computer, you might find that the Windows 95 boot selection reads "Microsoft Windows" rather than "Windows 95" or "Microsoft Windows 95." You can change this label. All you have to do is look in the root directory for the file named BOOT.INI. This is a read-only system file, so make sure your File Manager is set to see all the files. Use File Manager to locate the file and select it. Choose the Properties command from the File menu and deselect Read only and System. Close File Manger and use a text editor (NotePad will do) to open BOOT.INI. Locate the line "Microsoft Windows" and change it to "Microsoft Windows 95" (or whatever you want to label it). Save the file, then use File Manager to once again make it a read-only system file.
