ARTICLE-ID:Q94412
TITLE :AUTOEXEC File Is Not Processed Running 3rd-Party Shell
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Some third-party command shells (such as NDOS) do not require the /P
switch (which specifies the command shell is permanent). As a result, if
you use a third-party shell without the /P switch, and set environment
variables from your CONFIG.SYS file or use MS-DOS 6 startup menus, your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file is not processed when you start your computer.
More Information:
Third-party command shells that do not require the /P switch check to see
if an environment has been created. If it has, they do not call the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you use the MS-DOS 6 startup menu feature or you set
environment variables (such as PATH or PROMPT) in your CONFIG.SYS file, an
environment is created and the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is not processed.
