Default Why does autoexec.bat not execute when window 98 start up?

Does anyone know why autoexec.bat does not execute when window 98 start up?
I have added a few to clean the temp internet folder, such as
DELTREE /y C:\CWIN98\tempor~1

but when window starts and I check this folder, and still find cookie there.
It proves that autoexec.bat does not execute properly.
Does anyone know what wrong it is for autoexec.bat file
Thank you in advance

The folder looks incorrect. Should it be Win98 instead of CWin98?
Or should it be Windows?
Put a Pause statement at the end of the file, if it gets to the
Pause the file executed.

Thank you for your reply

CWIN98 is the corrected filename for my computer, since anyone can rename it
john or mary folder when they install the window.

Autoexec.bat contains following statement
DELTREE /y C:\CWIN98\tempor~1

When I execute this file after window start-up, all files under the folder
Temporary Internet Files are erased, but files will not be erased by
executing Autoexec.bat when window start-up, does anyone have any suggestion?
Thank everyone for any suggestion
Eric

Noel gave you the answer in the other group you posted to.
Cookies are not held in Temporary Internet Files, so deleting TIF can
hardly remove them.

Eric,

Did you try putting a Pause line at the end of the file to make sure
it ran at boot? Go into Msconfig under the General tab and make sure
Autoexec.bat is checked. If it's not checked it won't run at Startup
but you can still run it manually.

Start Run and enter Msconfig.

Bill Watt

A. Make sure autoexec.bat is enabled in MSCONFIG
- OR -
B. Put a shortcut to it in Programs\StartUp

Apparently no one is paying any attention to that fact, Alan, as the replies to this
non-issue keep rolling in. rolls eyes

Hi Glen,

Note that Eric said:

Seems Autoexec.bat is not executing at boot but works when run
manually. BTW I have cookies in the TIF folder, by default, I
believe.

Press any key to continue ...
Pause command performs nothing here.
I have checked that in Msconfig under the General tab, Autoexec.bat is
checked.
