A number of DOS utilities gained power when Win95 was released... at least when
run from within Windows.

Many DOS utilities can work with long file names (mostly when enclosed in
quotation marks).

XCOPY32 gained a number of new functions.

And the START command can be very handy, especially with switches such as /W
allowing for working with a mix of DOS and Windows commands, especially in a
batch file.

When I have to install a piece of software 34 times in my computer lab,
cleaning up Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts each time, I find it a real
time-saver to write a batch file that can start the Setup.exe, wait until it is
done, then delete, move, and copy shortcuts to leave the computers tidy and
match my obsessive-compulsive notions of how Windows should look and work.

(I can't stand cluttered Start Menus and Desktops, and almost always change
program default icon placements).
