I'm trying to modify my autoexec.bat file to run a batch file on startup. Everytime I change the autoexec.bat and restart the computer, the autoexec.bat comes back to the original way it was before I changed it. If I delete the autoexec.bat file and restart, it will come back.. it has these settings in it:

SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

Does anyone know how I can change the autoexec.bat and have it so it doesn't get overwritten everytime I start windows?


Oh yea, and I have even tried making the autoexec.bat read only.. still overwrites it.

I THINK WinME may reset all that each time, because they are trying to remove DOS support.
