If you have the disk space, this might work:
Install a second copy of Win 3.0 in a directory not on your path.
Change it's *.ini files to how you want.  Start up a dos window
from you original version of Win 3.0.  Change the PATH variable
to include the new Win 3.0 directory and not the old.  Then start
up the new one.

I havn't tried this, but the prospect of running a CGA version of
Win3.0 in a window is just too neat to pass up.

Any comments on if this will work?
