Many times I have to reboot my computer because I change my config.sys
file in order to include a particular device driver for communications
or graphics software.  There is not base memory to run the graphics
software if I load both communications and graphics device drivers.
I would like to have a batch file that would test for the presence of
the appropriate device drivers, change my config.sys if required and
reboot my computer without having to press CTRL-ALT-DEL.

I'm sure that many of you have had this sort of problem in loading too
many devices in the config.sys file and then not having enough base memory
to run applications.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
