| For some reason my autoexec.nt file keeps disappearing out of my
| winnt\system folder. I put it back and every reboot, it's gone again. I
| don't know when this started happening, I noticed it when I went to install
| some software and it was looking for that file.
|
| Anybody have any clues why it's disappearing?
|
| Thanks
