Better not. ME is positively weird in how it handles autoexec.bat.
You're supposed to use Microsoft's System Configuration Tool
("msconfig.exe"), and if you try to just edit autoexec.bat yourself,
it'll somehow swallow those modifications into msconfig behind your
back, and remove them from autoexec.bat.

The correct procedure is in README.1st and the FAQ by now, IIRC. See
there.
