How to make Windows XP compatible with 16-bit DOS programs

Although Windows XP provides a compatible wizard to run our old programs, but it is not easy to use, such as Turbo C, which is still used in many schools. Running in XP often takes a splash. At this point, we can use the start command to solve.
