Autoexec.bat

[newtech1]

I installed DOS 6.22 on my machine and then installed Win 3.11. My problem is that when I start my computer up, I am in DOS, I have to change to the windows directory, then type win to launch windows 3.1. What do I have to place in my autoexec.bat to launch windows from start up? Thanks for your help.

First, make sure that the windows directory is in your PATH statement.(Example: Path=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\MOUSE;C:\WINDOWS)
Then at the end of the autoexec.bat file put Win or if you want it in enhanced mode put Win/3
(Keep in mind that I'm no expert, so you better make a backup copy of autoexec.bat before you change anything)
