Everytime I load DOS mode in windows 98, it reverts my custom autoexec.bat to default and erases my custom configuration so how I can prevent this from happening? Thanks!

You need to edit the relevant boxes in 'Exit to DOS.pif'. When you 'restart in DOS' from Windows 98, it copies these fields into CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
When you type 'exit' to return to Windows, these files (including any changes you have made) get deleted and replaced by the Windows versions.
ETA. The above is what happens if you select the "Specify A New MS-DOS Configuration" in Exit to DOS.pif. If however you select "Use Current MS-DOS Configuration", then the lines in C:\Windows\DOSSTART.BAT get added to the Windows AUTOEXEC.BAT on going to DOS. This is quicker but more limited (you cannot change CONFIG.SYS using this method.)
Is this too much voodoo?
