Ummmmmmm, this is a FreeBSD list!  Next time, subscribe to:
WIN-HOME at PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM or some similar list.

If you put 'autoexec.bat' in the root directory, the commands
contained within it will execute before going into Windows.

If Windows needs to be running, take a copy of your shortcut to
the batch file and put it in:

C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\

You will know you are in the right directory because there
should be some other programs that run on boot up.
