AUTOEXEC.BAT
is a system file that was originally on DOS-type operating systems. It is a plain-text batch file in the root directory of the boot device. The name of the file is an abbreviation of 'automatic execution', which describes its function in automatically executing commands on system startup; the filename was coined in response to the 8.3 filename limitations of the FAT file system family.Usage[edit]
AUTOEXEC.BAT
is read upon startup by all versions of DOS, including MS-DOS version 7.x as used in Windows 95 and Windows 98. Windows ME only parses environment variables as part of its attempts to reduce legacy dependencies,[1] but this can be worked around.[2]AutoPrompt allows you to keep track of your PUC & Insurance date. It will also create an calendar event for you based on expiry date, so you will be informed for renewal:).
The filename was also used by Disk Control Program [de] (DCP), an MS-DOS derivative by the former East-German VEB Robotron.[3]
In Korean versions of MS-DOS/PC DOS 4.01 and higher (except for PC DOS 7 and 2000), if the current country code is set to 82 (for Korea) and no
/P:filename
is given and no default AUTOEXEC.BAT
is found, COMMAND.COM
will look for a file named KAUTOEXE.BAT
instead in order to ensure that the DBCS frontend drivers will be loaded even without properly set up CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files.[4]Under DOS, the file is executed by the primary copy of the command-line processor (typically
COMMAND.COM
) once the operating system has booted and the CONFIG.SYS
file processing has finished. While DOS by itself provides no means to pass batch file parameters to COMMAND.COM
for AUTOEXEC.BAT
processing, the alternative command-line processor 4DOS supports a 4DOS.INI
AutoExecParams
directive and //AutoExecParams=
startup option to define such parameters.[5] Under Concurrent DOS, Multiuser DOS and REAL/32, three initial parameters will be passed to either the corresponding STARTxxy.BAT
(if it exists) or the generic AUTOEXEC.BAT
startup file, %1
holds the virtual console number,[6]%2
the 2-digit terminal number (xx) (with 00 being the main console) and %3
the 1-digit session number (y).[7]Windows NT and its descendants Windows XP and Windows Vista parse
AUTOEXEC.BAT
when a user logs on. As with Windows ME, anything other than setting environment variables is ignored.[8] Unlike CONFIG.SYS
, the commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT
can be entered at the interactive command line interpreter. They are just standard commands that the computer operator wants to be executed automatically whenever the computer is started, and can include other batch files.AUTOEXEC.BAT
is most often used to set environment variables such as keyboard, soundcard, printer, and temporary file locations. It is also used to initiate low level system utilities, such as the following:- Disk caching software
- Mouse drivers
- Keyboard drivers
- CD drivers
- Miscellaneous other drivers
Example[edit]
In early versions of DOS,
AUTOEXEC.BAT
was by default very simple. The DATE
and TIME
commands were necessary as early PC and XT class machines did not have a battery backed-up real-time clock as default.In non-US environments, the keyboard driver (like
KEYB FR
for the French keyboard) was also included. Later versions were often much expanded with numerous third-party device drivers. The following is a basic DOS 5 type AUTOEXEC.BAT
configuration, consisting only of essential commands:This configuration sets common environment variables, loads a disk cache, places common directories into the default PATH, and initializes the DOS mouse / keyboard drivers. The
PROMPT
command sets the prompt to 'C:>' (when the working directory is the root of the C drive) instead of simply 'C>' (the default prompt, indicating only the working drive and not the directory therein).In general, device drivers were loaded in
CONFIG.SYS
, and programs were loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. Some devices, such as mice, could be loaded either as a device driver in CONFIG.SYS
, or as a TSR in AUTOEXEC.BAT
, depending upon the manufacturer.[9]In MS-DOS 6.0 and higher, a DOS boot menu is configurable. This can be of great help to users who wish to have optimized boot configurations for various programs, such as DOS games and Windows.
The
GOTO %CONFIG%
line informs DOS to look up menu entries that were defined within CONFIG.SYS
. Then, these profiles are named here and configured with the desired specific drivers and utilities. At the desired end of each specific configuration, a GOTO
command redirects DOS to the :END
section. Lines after :END
will be used by all profiles.Dual-booting DOS and Windows 9x[edit]
When installing Windows 95 over a preexisting DOS/Windows install,
CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT
are renamed to CONFIG.DOS
and AUTOEXEC.DOS
. This is intended to ease dual booting between Windows 9x and DOS. When booting into DOS, they are temporarily renamed CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT
. Backups of the Windows 9x versions are made as .W40
files.Windows 9x also installs
MSDOS.SYS
, a configuration file, which will not boot Windows 95/98 if parameterBOOTGUI=0
is loaded, and instead a DOS prompt will appear on the screen (Windows can still be loaded by calling the WIN
command (file WIN.COM). This file contains some switches that designate how the system will boot, one of which controls whether or not the system automatically goes into Windows. This 'BootGUI' option must be set to '0' in order to boot to a DOS prompt. By doing this, the system's operation essentially becomes that of a DOS/Windows pairing like with earlier Windows versions. Windows can be started as desired by typing WIN
at the DOS prompt.When installing CalderaDR-DOS 7.02 and higher, the Windows version retains the name
AUTOEXEC.BAT
, while the file used by the DR-DOS COMMAND.COM
is named AUTODOS7.BAT
, referred to by the startup parameter /P:filename.ext
in the SHELL directive. It also differentiates the CONFIG.SYS
file by using the name DCONFIG.SYS
.[10][11][12]Auto Prompt 1 0 11
OS/2[edit]
The equivalent to
AUTOEXEC.BAT
under OS/2 is the OS/2 STARTUP.CMD
file, however, genuine DOS sessions booted under OS/2 continue to use AUTOEXEC.BAT
.Windows NT[edit]
On Windows NT and its derivatives, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, the equivalent file is called
AUTOEXEC.NT
and is located in the %SystemRoot%system32
directory. The file is not used during the operating system boot process; it is executed when the MS-DOS environment is started, which occurs when a DOS application is loaded.The
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file may often be found on Windows NT in the root directory of the boot drive. Windows only considers the SET
and PATH
statements which it contains, in order to define environment variables global to all users. Setting environment variables through this file may be interesting if for example MS-DOS is also booted from this drive (this requires that the drive be FAT-formatted) or to keep the variables across a reinstall. This is an exotic usage today so the file usually remains empty. The Tweak UI applet from the Microsoft PowerToys collection allows to control this feature (Parse AUTOEXEC.BAT at logon).See also[edit]

Auto Prompt 1 0 12
Tux Racer 0.61a has been released for Windows. This is a small patch on the 0.61 package for Windows; the only difference is that a more recent version of SDL.dll (1.1.8 instead of 1.1.7) is used. This fixes problems that many people experienced with version 0.61 on Windows 98SE.
If you already have Tux Racer 0.61 for Windows and are experiencing crasheswhen the game starts up, you can download SDL 1.1.8 yourself; simply replacethe SDL.dll file from Tux Racer 0.61 with the one in that package.
If you aren't experiencing any problems with Tux Racer 0.61, then there is no need to download 0.61a.
Tux Racer 0.61 Released

Wednesday, January 31, 2001
Tux Racer Version 0.61 has been released and is available from theDownloads section. This release mainly patches problems with version0.60.3, but also adds a few new features. New in this release: Instabro 5 2 5 – browser for instagram accounts.
- SDL can be used instead of GLUT for handling OpenGL contexts and mouse/keyboard events (the Windows build no longer uses GLUT). Using SDL gives better fullscreen rendering support under both Linux and Windows.
- Added a fish pickup sound.
- Added a 'diagnostic log' feature to help diagnose system problems and pinpoint bugs. To create the log, set 'write_diagnostic_log' to true in the options file; the log (diagnostic_log.txt) will be created next time Tux Racer is run. Please include (selected parts) of the log when submitting bug reports.
- Cygwin is no longer used in the Windows build.
- Fog can now be disabled (for buggy Rage 128 drivers) -- set 'disable_fog' to true in the options file.
- Added a loading screen (this fixes Debian Bug #75235).
- X libraries now included in LIBS in configure script; this should fix some GLUT detection problems.
- Arbitrary joystick axes can be mapped to Tux controls (thanks to Julie Brandon for suggestion and patch).
- Fixed some 32-bit-isms to allow compiling on 64-bit machines (like Alphas); thanks to Jay Estabrook for the patch.
For those that are wondering, new Tux Racer development has been progressing ona separate branch from this release. We want to get the features that will gointo Version 1.0 into a better state before releasing them to the public.We're getting there; please be patient!
