editing autoexec batch file

[devlish96]

how do you do it in windows 3.11 in a 486 system?

basically i want the OS to load automatically...without having to type in DOS

i think you need a boot.ini

Why are you playing with Win 3.1? There is no educational value in playing with that OS.

well it's not like you'd put XP on a 486

well,..lets just say that its for the simple reason that it was my very first computer/OS...and that it was gathering dust in the garage when i resently revived the dam thing...changed the cmos battery..and cleaned everything. i found the OS including Word 6 and Excel 5 in P2P...only problem was that,..word 6 is totally in french and excel is in spanish.

Load HIMEM.SYS
Command $P
Stacks=40
Files=40
C:\windows\msdx.exe/CDROM
Win <-----------Command you need to enter here

thanks for the help micro!!!!
