Maybe you understand from this, but you don't seem to be very
proficient with DOS, so maybe not.  I'll follow-up anyway.  The
autoexec.bat file you're looking for is located at c:\autoexec.bat I'm
not really sure how the one windows uses works.  I'm guessing it runs
both of them, though don't take my word for it.  I always just edit
the one in the root directory.
