Ummmmmmm, this is a FreeBSD list! Next time, subscribe to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some similar list. If you put 'autoexec.bat' in the root directory, the commands contained within it will execute before going into Windows. If Windows needs to be running, take a copy of your shortcut to the batch file and put it in: C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\ You will know you are in the right directory because there should be some other programs that run on boot up.
