I use Loadlin for the same reason. I have a multi-boot windows menu which allows me to select either DOS, Windows or Linux during the boot process (you can also boot to multiple versions of Linux if you are into that sort of thing). It currently defaults to Linux after five seconds, but this is easily modifiable.

There is a very nice loadlin manual written by Hans Lermen (lermen@elserv.ffm.fgan.de) which describes the use of DOS batch files as well as windows start menus under config.sys.
