Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but here goes. I have a DOS PC on the network and it boots to a C Prompt, which I have to change to D:\folder to access another PC. How/where do I need to go to make it boot up to D:\folder instead of the C prompt? DOS Dummy here...LOL. Thanks in advance.

Edit your autoexec.bat file to add a line to change to the d: and another line to move to the correct folder.

autoexec contents here
d:
cd foldername

and you could also add another line to start up the program.
