Autoexec.bat

#1 August 17th 04, 04:31 PM

On Windows Me seems is not possible to launch a program from Autoexec.bat as
per Win9x. If I add a line with program , this line is discarded.
Automatic execution folder is the only way to launch a program at Start
time?

Thanks.

Win Me does not use autoexec.bat or config.sys as it does not use real
mode. These files are retained solely for backward compatibility with
applications that expect to find these two files. If you wish to launch
an application or batch file when booting your system add an entry to the
start folder.

You run a DOS program from the autoexec.bat and a Windows program from
Win.ini.
AT the top of Win.ini find the following lines:

[windows]
load=
run=
