- 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!
