If OK with everyone else, I'll formulate a quick example AUTOEXEC.BAT and pop it in. I've noticed the CONFIG.SYS piece has an example, I think this would benefit from one too.

Let me know if anyone has any objections.

I guess it would be okay, but dont make it big. Try to keep it simple and small.

OK thanks. Apologies for not including my signature last time - a little oversight.

Meaning no offense, I have taken the liberty of posting an example of the autoexec.bat file myself because it's been several months now and no examples have been posted.

Also, I find it rather strange to consider my usage of autoexec.bat on Windows Xp "exotic." Are you sure about that? -Caudax 03:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied up autoexec.bat and config.sys, and added a category tag to io.sys. Gave the two pages a similar look and feel. One of the major issues with the WIKI, is a lack of consistent editing, so I always try and sync comparable pages to a similar format. Some minor errors, Windows ME applied settings through the registry, although there is an unofficial hack to work round that. Keep up the good work all.

Autoexec.bat exists in Windows NT up to XP (don't know about 2003 Server and Vista), although it's empty and does not get parsed during boot. CannibalSmith 14:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, autoexec.bat exists in Windows XP but as AUTOEXEC.NT file. Also config.sys exists as CONFIG.NT - open these files in Notepad and you will see differences ;)
