[comp.windows.ms] WINLOAD - A Trick

stevens@shiva.trl.oz (Tony Stevens) (03/06/91)

I have found the use of WINLOAD to be helpful in preventing,
on occasions the automatic entry to WINDOWS 3.0.  In my old autoexec.bat
file I had a series of file deletes to clean up my disc on exit-ing
Windows.

Here is the trick!

I have now put these clean up commands in a file called WIN.BAT in the
root directory of the boot drive and have the PATH statement as
     PATH=c:\;c:\windows; ....... etc
to ensure that WIN.BAT is called first instead of win.com in the windows
directory.  [WINLOAD calls WIN   without a suffix]
