Hello and thanks for any help.

In Windows XP Pro SP2 my autoexec.bat file is...

************************

C:\mydocuments
dir
cd documents and settings
dir
cd /?
exit

************************
As far as I know autoexec.bat is optional in XP and I can't see a logical
reason for the makeup of this file and I'm curious.

Thanks again.


This could be a leftover from some previous OS from which
you may have upgraded. Get rid of these lines - they are useless.
