You need to create (or modify) an entry in the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI to specify the maximum files open at one time per VM:

PerVMFiles=nnn

numbers > 223 are not handled right; the number is max files + 31 < 255 or stuff can happen, like the number gets ignored. You can make the entry using MSCONFIG or NOTEPAD.
