An NT safeguard for 16-bit applications

Because 16-bit applications can be somewhat troublesome, NT offers you the option of running them in their own memory space. Then, if the legacy app crashes, it won't bring NT down with it.

Here's how to set it up:

  1. Go to the application's Properties dialog box.
  2. Select the Run Application In Own Memory Space option.

If this is an option you'll use frequently, you can create shortcuts to your applications with this protection selected.

Follow these steps:

  1. Use NT Explorer to find the application.
  2. Right-click the application icon and, holding down the mouse button, drag it to your desktop.
  3. Select Create Shortcut.
  4. Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.
  5. Select the Run Application In Own Memory Space option.
