DOCUMENT:Q104199 28-SEP-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :AUTOEXEC.BAT Is Read by Windows NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The AUTOEXEC.NT file incorrectly states that the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is
not used to initialize environment variables under Windows NT. This is
not true. The following is a section taken from the AUTOEXEC.NT:
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.
When a User logs on, the Path and Set commands to add environment
variables from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file are appended to the Windows NT path
and environment for the Command Prompt and any Virtual MS-DOS Machines
(VDMs). By default, AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT are also read each time you start an
MS-DOS application.
NOTE: Country, Device, Dos, Fcbs, Files, Install, Loadhigh, Rem,
Shell, and Stacks are all supported commands in CONFIG.NT. Any
commands in CONFIG.NT that are not supported are ignored. Also, any
device drivers which attempt to directly access hardware will not
operate correctly in Windows NT.
