If it doesn't help, it's simple. Just install Ms-Dos, after it Windows 95. Windows 95 doesn't load automatically at startup (at least the usual Windows 95) if there's no line in autoexec.bat starting the .com file. So you can remove the win.com line from autoexec.bat and start Windows 95 from Dos through typing win at the prompt whenever you need it, and quit to Dos again through leaving Windows and starting in Dos-mode.
That's all about Ms-Dos 6.22 btw., not sure if Ms-Dos 7.1 would actually be even compatible with Windows 95 (might with OSR2.5 though, wasn't using that one). One advice about Ms-Dos 6.22 and Windows 95 (OSR) - when leaving from Windows to Dos and after again to Windows, don't type win the second or following times but instead exit to exit from current command.com running. That will save some conventional memory whenever you return to Dos again.
