autoexec.nt

[Guest]

I have noticed that XP uses autoexec.nt instead of
autoexec.bat, which is the one we all remember from the
old days of 9x.

Is it possible to put commands into the autoexec.nt and
have them run, like calling a batch file or something, so
that it executes on bootup?

Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott H.

No. The file is for the DOS prompt only. Write a batch file and put a
shortcut to it in the STARTUP subfolder of the Start Menu.

1. Open XP's "Help and Support" program.
2. In the Search box type: COMMAND-LINE , and hit enter.
3. Then click on "Command-line reference A-Z".

2a. Click on "Managing System Information from the command line" then
proceed to step 3.

3a. Once there, click "Add to Favorites."
