How do I add a batch file to the autoexec.bat file so that it will run? Before I edited it, my autoexec file was empty, now the only line is:
call start.bat
It doesn't work. There is a .bat file in the same folder (C:\) named start.bat, but nothing happened. The start.bat file is a very simple batch file I've written myself, consisting of a simple reminder to myself (more a test than anything) and contains these lines:
@echo off
echo Windows is Starting
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
echo Remember to change the outgoing server in Thunderbird to the correct outgoing mail POP server
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
cls
echo Windows is Starting
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
cls
echo Windows is Starting .
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
cls
echo Windows is Starting ..
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
cls
echo Windows is Starting ...
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1>nul
pause
Is there a setting I need to set in order for autoexec.bat to automatially run whenever the computer boots?
thanks, rock

Sorry:
I'm running Windows XP SP2, I think that's all the pertinent info.....
