    Configuration for win3.1 startup

    What is the configuration to have the pc boot right to win3.1 instead of the C: prompt?
    And what file does it get put into...Autoexec.bat or config.sys?

    Simply type win at the last line of your autoexec.bat file then be sure to save.

    So long as the PATH= line in AUTOEXEC.BAT includes c:\windows (or the path containing the Windows installation, in the past I have chosen c:\win311, or c:\win16 among others), this will work.

    If win.com (or win.bat, for those who like to specify commandline options for Windows) is not in the path, or previous commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT have not specified to change to the directory containing the win.* executable, that line will result in a Bad command or filename. (However, this is a moot point, as you say that you have solved the problem.)
