Default keyboard MS-DOS v WinME

Win Me does not use or processes either config.sys or autoexec.bat when
booting. These files are simply retained for backward compatibility with
programs that expect to find these two files.

Configure your keyboard when in a DOS window running under Win Me by using
MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig in the box and click OK) and open the
International tab, select your preferred language/keyboard layout from the
drop down box at the top - for example French (Belgian),

If you continue to experience problems see MS KB 272719 - "International
Keyboard Settings Do Not Work in an MS-DOS Prompt"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=272719) and see if it applies.

I have Windows ME with an AZERTY keyboard (Belgium). After formatting
the C-disk and reinstallation of WinME, I have following problem :
I have adapted keyboard to AZERTY. Windows is OK but when I work under
MS-DOS the keyboard turns into QWERTY.
I tried additions in the config.sys and autoexec.bat but that doesn't
help (This additions disappear after rebooting the computer). With
Windows 95 (my second PC) this action worked well !!
Can somebody help me please !
