You can modify the autoexec.bat and config.sys files, which would affect all Windows programs (harmlessly, I believe), or you could modify the batch file that is started when you open a DOS window. I use NT, which is different, so I can't give you the exact keystrokes, but there are settings for the DOS prompt icon where you can specify the name of a batch file to be executed whenever you open a DOS window. Put the commands for autoexec.bat in that batch file, and you should be all set.(posted 9037 days ago)
