If you're talking about how windows "auto-fucking" everything up by "fixing"
your
autoexec.bat file, I had it to, it just always changed my cd rom driver
settings...
It gave me a lot of shit, it just simply erases or changes the lines and I
don't know how or why windows does this. I did in the end get around this,
by just putting mucks of similar lines in. Example:
The line we want in is "Windows is like Bill Gates, annoying..." you'd put

rem Windows is like Bill Gates, annoying...Windows is like Bill Gates,
annoying...
remWindows is like Bill Gates, annoying...
remWindows is like Bill Gates, annoying...
remWindows is like Bill Gates, annoying...
Windows is like Bill Gates, annoying...Windows is like Bill Gates,
annoying...
remWindows is like Bill Gates, annoying...(^might cause an error, but so
what...)
Windows is like Bill Gates, annoying...(<<Hopefully this line will now stay,
unchanged, it worked for me, but I don't know how or why...)

If anyone does know how and why, and an easier/correct way, please let me
know!
