Oh, I thought that the liveCD would do something like look somewhere on the C: drive for a specific autoexec file and then execute that if it's present. I just assumed that it would have that capability. I can't say that I understand why it doesn't do this, but obviously there must be some reason for this restriction. I'll just have to write my own batch file and remember to execute it manually on startup each time. Thank you very much for the help. > In other words, in a true hardware install (with a r/w drive such as > HD or FD) you can edit anything you like.

Yes, it does need to run natively. It needs real-time access to the real hardware, and it needs to be in an environment in which nothing else is going to steal cycles.
