I was cleaning up a user's hard drive this morning when I apparently
did something I shouldn't have. He's running 6.2. I deleted several
old files that I thought he didn't need. I also ran a chkdsk /f, scan
disk and defragged it. For some reason (and I hope someone can shed
some light), his config.sys runs but the autoexec.bat does NOT. I've
been over the autoexec.bat several times and I know it's fine. I
didn't realize it was even possible to alter this without making BIOS
changes. Any help is of course greatly appreciated. -mw

As this news group is called `4dos' I presume the user has 4dos installed.
In that case the last line from the config.sys should looke something like

The `/P' makes the shell permanent and ensures the execution of autoexec.bat.
Hope this helps...
