- I use a .bat file which looks something like this (without comments)
-
- c:
- cd \
- xcopy *.ini a: /s (* remember /s *)
- xcopy *.grp a: /s
- xcopy *.inf a: /s (* my vga board comes with an inf file *)
- (* that has to be located in the win dir*)
-
- I run this bat file once in a while.
- (especially before messing with the win.ini and system.ini files)
