boot.ini editing

[Steven Wabik]

i need help editing the boot.ini file. i know how to do it and all, i just
wanna know how to add this one application to it so that it can load without
windows and run properly. i am a college student, and i was wondering if i
could add MS word to to the boot.ini file and get it to run properly. i
don't want to have to boot windows to use it.

-------------------------------

here is how my boot.ini file looks like:

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Media
Center Edition 2005" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Media
Center Edition 2005 (safe mode)" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
/safeboot:minimal
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

------------------------------------------------------------------------

i wanna add me word to it. i think the entry should look some thing like
this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\word.exe="Microsoft Word 2003"


but i think it might need a command after it so that the mouse and ketbourd
drivers will load with it and stuff. i'm thinking it might need a comand
after it because windows has the commands "/noexecute=optin /fastdetect"
after it. can someone please help me with this.

You have to use Windows to use Word. There's no way around that.
