Lets hope i can pick some brains out there, I am a pc
servicing student and for an assingment was asked to find
out what windows XP uses in replacement for autoexec.bat
and config sys as it does not run on DOS but uses DOS just
as an add on, I hope someone out there can help me with
this.... Cheers

Greetings --

WinXP doesn't use AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. The empty files are
present simply to provide some backwards compatibility with legacy
applications.

To set environmental variables, Right-Click My Computer >
Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables/New
(or Edit, as applicable). You can also add the appropriate line(s) to
C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt and/or C:\Windows\System32\Config.nt.

Huh? How does one use the Group Policy Editor to set
environmental variables and such?
