| | Re: autoexec.bat Help!!!! Santiago, Vista no longer uses 'autoexec.bat', it will parse any entries in there to set environment variables but that is all. On a clean install of Vista there is a single dummy entry in this file. This is also a system protected file, you should consider very carefully any modifications to system protected files. Perhaps if you could explain what you are trying to accomplish with the autoexec.bat file someone could help you do the same thing using Vista's normal procedures.

| | Re: autoexec.bat Help!!!! Michel well, this is what I want to do: I have a software, and I need to set environment variables for it. In XP I made it in the autoexec.bat, but here in Vista I couldn't.

| | Re: autoexec.bat Help!!!! Santiago, Right click on computer, select properties in the left pane select 'Advanced system settings' advanced tab environment variables button near bottom add your environment variables. recommend you use the top section for your account rther than the one for the whole system.

| | Re: autoexec.bat Help!!!! Johan, My system is home premium, it has full permissions for 'administrators' group, read/execute only for 'users' group. I haven't actualy tried to change it however. Also need to change the view to show hidden stuff in order to see it. (it is a protected operating system file). Also as the OP has a business system there may be a Group Policy issue.

| | Re: autoexec.bat Help!!!! I have Windows Vista Home Premium on my system. I can view, and modify these files. It anything critical needs changing, UAC usually prompts me... as long as I ok the permission it works with no problems. If you have User Account Controls turned off, try turning this feature back on. This may solve some of your "Access Denied" errors.
