Christy those files are called: autoexec.bat and config.sys..... they are normally located on: C:\ if your looking for them using the default configuration of windows explorer or my computer then you proably wont see them as by default they don't show windows system files and they don't show the file extensions either. You can change the configuration of windows explorer using the VIEW tab and the TOOLS / Options functions which I highly recommend. Normally there is nothing in either of those files with the newer versions of windows, most stuff is now loaded via other windows configuration files. -Jim- cristy wrote: >Hi Faustus, I dont see any autobat or sysconfig in C:/folder and the screen >does not do it every time. > >christy > >----- Original Message ----- >From: <dktrfaustus@xxxxxxxxxx> >To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 7:41 AM >Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Dos screen? on boot up > > > To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
