I've always thought the 'P' in PC mean Personal. What's a sysadmin
messing with your setup for?

Correct. A djgpp program is invoked by NTVDM which applies whatever 
config.nt/autoexec.nt file there are in your system32-folder. 

Not sure there are any Registry settings for this, but you could 
always override these files with a dummy.nt if you like. I've done that,
but for 4DOS.PIF. You should try editing the properties of command.com 
(i.e. the %systemroot%\system32\command.pif file). Look under
'Program | Advanced'.
