config.nt or autoexec.nt problems

Hello,
I’m trying to use some aliases for MS-DOS shell commands in Vista...
I’ve edited C:\Windows\system32\config.nt adding this line: “doskey finder=findstr /I /M /R $*”.

It doesn’t work: a new command prompt still says “finder” is unknown command. Why this? Where is my error?

PS
Even after a logoff-logon or reboot it’s still the same.

Re: config.nt or autoexec.nt problems

As far as I can see Vista IGNORES C:\Windows\system32\config.nt and autoexec.nt.
Anyway I've found this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Process, REG_SZ value AutoRun can force any new opened command prompt to execute first what you specify.
I've set it to autoexec.bat to run my own MS-DOS settings...
Hope this helps others too.
Don't know why Vista totally ingores config.nt and autoexec.nt.
