You're making this all far harder than it needs to be. Using the Folder
Options applet in Control Panel, make sure all hidden files/extensions
are visible. Then go to C:\Windows\System32 and find config.nt. Right
click on it and open it with Notepad. Make the changes suggested by the
poster on the forum I gave you and Save the file. That should do it.

If you are uncomfortable hand-editing a config file (and I don't see how
you could be if you are running Linux), then go to C:\Windows\Repair
and copy autoexec.nt and config.nt from that folder into the System32
folder. Overwrite the ones that are in System32 now.
