Default autoexec.bat in msconfig

I'm not able to uncheck the 'Process autoexec' box. As soon as I click
Apply, it puts the check mark back. There were a couple lines in the
autoexec.bat file but I deleted them so now the file is empty. But when I
click the Autoexec.bat tab in msconfig there's still an empty box there
which can't be deleted. How do I get rid of it?

If there's nothing in the file, delete it altogether. Are there any
other Autoexec.* files in the C:\ root directory? Autoexec.TSH, for
instance?

I'm still interested in knowing if there's a C:\Autoexec.tsh file.
