MSDos window Prompt command in XP

[Rusty Shackleford]

When I use MSDos window in XP, I type the command 'Prompt $p$_$g' in the Dos
Window to allow the prompt to be below the current drive and path list. Is
there a way to allow this command to be executed when you double click on
the Command Prompt Icon?

Rusty,

Make a .BAT file with the two lines:
-------------------
@Prompt $p$_$g
@cls
-------------------

Save it as C:\1.bat.

Now call the C:\1.bat in the Command Processor Autorun registry value:

Add the line "prompt $p$_$g" to C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.NT.

Hi Bruce,

IIRC, Autoexec.NT is processed when "Command.com" is used. "CMD.exe" seems
to ignore Autoexec.
