It seems his/her hack was to select a particular configuration, get autoexec.bat to copy the file with that configuration as the new config.sys, and then reboot the PC so that config.sys would get read at next boot.

Yes, this is exactly how I did it. That's why I mentioned having to reboot again after choosing a different config.
