Correct. There is no command.com, msdos.sys, or io.sys in XP.

When I open a DOS window under XP Pro, does the machine still automatically
run the autoexec.bat file, and if not, is there any way to perform the
functions of that file, when a DOS window is opened? TIA.


In your system32 folder there is an autoexec.nt file that you may modify as desired

The OP may well modify it as desired but AFAIR, the Command
Prompt takes no notice of this file.
