Where is Autoexec.bat

[modpluz]

first of all, pardon me for posting this here(if this is not the appropriate forum, mod pls help move).

can someone pls tell me where to find AUTOEXEC.BAT on WinXP Pro
i've looked in the system roots(windows, system32) but what i found was AUTOEXEC.NT(does this have anything to do with autoexec.bat?)

thanks

If you opened the file (AUTOEXEC.NT) you will find :

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

I guess that this mean that the file (AUTOEXEC.BAT) not needed anymore for NT based systems.

& now the question is why you want it in WinXP ?

Edit : Open it by Notepad or any hex editor.

If you mean an Environmental Variable then you can add and set it via ...

Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab > Environment Variables button.
