Managing A Personal Computer 1.1 The AUTOEXEC.BAT file is one of files which loads every time the computer is booted.

An example of this file is shown below: @ECHO OFF PROMPT $P$G SET PATH=C:\DOS LH C:\SBCD\DRV\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:MSCD001 /M:8 /V SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 SET SOUND=C:\SBPRO C:\MOUSE\MMOUSE.COM The first line of this batch file, @ECHO OFF, is programming command which hides all the command lines procedures from the user.

The next command is loading DOS’s CD-Rom drive letter allocater (The CD-Rom driver must be loaded first in the CONFIG.SYS). The parameters after the executable file inform the CUI to allocate a particular drive letter for the CD-Rom and also may inform the CUI to allocate extended memory or how to read the CD-Rom in terms of speed and sectors. The LH configures the CUI to load this command procedure in high or extended memory. The next command procedure allocates the Interrupt and Drive Memory allocation for the system’s sound card as well as informing the CUI of the sound ...
