when your in dos,
if your not in the C:\ directory type
cd\ <enter>(acutally hit enter, not type <enter>)
then you shoudl be there, now type
edit autoexec.bat <enter>
No in there, at the top, there should be a few things, like
@echo off
which tells it to perform the commands as I understand it
you can type
echo wooo I'm insane!
and it will display "wooo I'm insane!" when its exicuted, but anyway,
so does the computer boot alright without autoexec.bat? if not you might want to create one, just simply type
edit autoexec.bat <enter> and it will take you into the editor and save it, I dont remember but I dont think you really need anythign in it, but if you want to exicute your program when the computer boots, put this in exactly(Im not sure if you need the @echo off, but it wont hirt anything):
@echo off
C:\(program directory and exicutable)
and thats all you should need.
