> I don't see any description about what FORCEDOS does, though.  Anybody?

It's in the NT 4 help file and MSDN.  FORCEDOS disables the OS/2
subsystem (etc), forcing NT to run a program in a VDM even if NT
wouldn't normally have recognized the program as an MS-DOS program.

I'm not sure why this would solve the W2K nesting problem, though.
