It's the normal autoexec.bat file. But yeah, I've been advised to use a separate one. Either to use DOSSTART and/or a PIF file. The only thing is, I don't often load Windows first and then go to DOS via a custom file. I usually access DOS on boot from a boot menu.

If you want to use the native boot menu to make different environments, you can separate your config.sys and autoexec.bat for windows and DOS like this

Awesome. Thank you. I’ve been pointed to various threads/sites on how to setup a custom boot menu and I’ve not really understood what does what and why. This guide looks a bit more promising so hopefully it’ll be easier to understand and follow along. 😃
