I remember the incantation

code:
cls > thecode.txt
to produce the escape sequence to use with ansi.sys to make your .bat scripts do cool poo poo like use colour.

Then I removed ansi.sys from config.sys because I need the ram.

and lol download managers

GetRight with its cute little tray icon progress bars.

Download Accelerator Plus which secretly continued downloading while paused, making it seem fast when you un-paused it.

Resume support was nice on dialup. Download a zip of a few megs over the course of a week. But only if the host server supported it.

The only windows sound I changed was the shutdown sound. It was a loud death scream from Street Fighter which always managed to startle the poo poo out of my dad :v:
