TIP
The Windows directory can appear in many locations on a system. For example, it may not
install on the C drive, but could use the D drive instead. In addition, the name can change some
systems used Windows, some Win, some WinNT, and others still other names. To find the Windows
directory on the local system, type
Echo %SYSTEMROOT%
and press Enter. You??™ll see the location
of the Windows directory displayed at the command prompt. Once you know this information,
you can find all of the other resources you need on the local machine because the Windows directory
setup doesn??™t change much from system to system.
The third configuration method is to change the content of
AutoExec.NT
. This file is actually a
batch file that you can modify as you would any other batch file. All of the techniques described in
the ???Creating Batch Files??? section of the chapter apply to this file. You can create any environment
you want using the proper programming techniques. In fact, you could present the user with
choices and act on those choices as part of configuring the environment.
The fourth configuration method is the Program Information File (PIF).
