autoexec.BAK

[exodus300]

Hello

When I manually edit autoexec.bat in notepad and reboot the changes are not made. Instead the chanes I made are in c:\autoexec.bak and autoexec.bat is the same as it was before the changes.
How to change autoexec.bat manually? [Thanks in advance|Hope I helped you]

Start>Run>Msconfig and press enter. Click on the Environment tab and edit it there.

Could boot to a Win98 floppy with edit.com on it and edit with it. The command would be:

A:\>edit c:\autoexec.bat

This command at the DOS prompt should also work:

A:\>c:\windows\command\edit c:\autoexec.bat

There are also some programs that want their autoexec.bat to be in charge and resist you by putting their version in place on every reboot. Ed Fair
