Go back and read WHAT i commented on. You seem to have lost the whole point
here. There is absolutely NO WAY, that you can run a scandisk utility from
autoexec.bat files in NT, because autoexec.bat files are NOT beeing used
during NT startup. That's was what my rather ironic comment was about.
Off cours I know that NT uses autoexec.nt for running DOS programs in
NTVDM's. If you read again, what I wrote is correct, isn't it? I did not, nor
did the person whom I responded to, talk about autoexec.nt at all, did we?
But was that the issue at all here? No... My comment was to indicate to the
the guy giving the advice that it was a rather bad one, in that it was not at
all correct.
But this is rather off topic now I think, so if you want to respond to this,
I think Netmail is a better place for it.:)
