Sorry, Lets clarify shall we, NT/2000 uses autoexec.nt for dos programs when they run and if specified. Autoexec.bat is NOT used in NT/2000 as it is used in 95/98. It only sets ENVIRONMENT variables. While it may be there you can't run a script from it at system bootup.

Only autoexec.nt which is only used when 16-bit apps require the usage of DOS startup paramaters. In other words, it doesn't run on boot.=3D20 Check out Jim K's responses to this one. Aside from the tools he mentions, there are a couple of utilities from the NT resource kits which can be used to make CMD or BAT files into controllable NT services, which will launch on boot.=3D20 Do a search on google for "create an NT service", ignore the programming links and you'll see some Q articles in there.=3D20 HTH J=3D20 -----Original Message----- From: Lucas Boyken [mailto:lboyken@xxxxxxxxx]=3D20 Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 9:37 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Running a script Try putting it in the autoexec.bat file.
