[QUOTE="Keith Thompson, post: 2394048"]
Conceivable, but vanishingly unlikely, and not worth our time to
consider the possibility.

There are a number of places you can go to ask about autoexec.bat and
config.sys.  Try a newsgroup with "ms-windows" or "msdos" in its name.
There are dozens of them.  This is not one of them.  And if you don't
find the information you're looking for, this *still* isn't the place
to complain about it or to ask where else to look.

Please stop wasting our time.  Your original question was blatantly
off-topic.  And although meta-discussions about topicality are
generally considered topical, I hardly think there's anything more to
be said in this thread.  (I'm arguably being hypocritical by posting
this followup, but I'm hoping to educate you and thereby reduce the
total amount of junk in this newsgroup.)

I know this sounds harsh, but given the volume of postings in this
newsgroup we can't afford to tolerate off-topic postings.  I think
you've been here long enough to understand that.

Please, don't even acknowledge this response.  Just drop it.
