OKAY,LET'S HAVE AT IT! WE'LL START WITH AUTOEXEC.,PER-
HAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT.BAT FILE. WE ASSUME YOU ARE AT
LEAST AN ENTRY LEVEL-1 PC USER (IF NOT,YOU NEED THE TM
PRE-ENTRY/ENTRY-LEVEL ELECTRONIC LEARNING DISK!)......
AUTOEXEC.BAT
AUTOEXEC.BAT is a special batch file name. When this file
is found in the root directory when a disk is booted it
will automatically run before turnover of the P.C. to the
control of the PC User.
You will most certainly want to load particular files on
computer start-up(called booting the PC). The commands to
do this would be in AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Here's an example:
TIME
PATH See PATHCMD.LRN
PROMPT See PROMPT.LRN
KBFIX.EXE
This file would first set the date,time,path,prompt, then
install the KBFIX program (a keyboard buffer redefinition
utility). If you have an internal clock, the date & time
commands wouldn't be needed.We use them as a double check!
