AUTOEXEC.BAT
AUTOEXEC.BAT is a special-purpose file that is automatically executed by DOS whenever the com-
puter is turned ON or restarted. This file contains important commands that help configure the system
to work with certain software and devices. Windows 95 and later has its own startup files and may not
use or may ignore parts of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
