ANYONE:Computer question -- AUTOEXEC.BAT used to be the place to put a startup path for DOS. Help says AUTOEXEC.NT -- but that doesn't work -- also tried CONFIG.NT if you really want to set a path to c:\dos to use the .exe &.com files (dos commands): you can do this as was desribed using the "path" command, but it won't help you because the versions of the programs in c:\dos do not run anymore on win2000/nt. They only run with "command.com" and win2000 implements the same with cmd.exe. So if you want to have a command line interface under win2000, you can click Start/Run and type "cmd" in the text field. CMD knows most commands that once resided in c:\dos which you can delete (if you don't need qbasic). Programs like the NC for DOS also run within cmd... PMG
