Hi d-a-l.com

Recently, I don't know how and why but everytime I start my PC, instead of normal windows, C: prompt appears. I have to type win in order to continue.

I would really appreciate if someone, at their own time could tell me how to change this.

Re-boot the system and hold the CTRL (or F8) key until the boot menu appears.

Select the COMMAND PROMPT ONLY option and press enter.

From the C:\> prompt, type both of the below lines followed by pressing
the ENTER key.

REN AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.OLD (note the 2 spaces) -press enter-
REN CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD (note the 2 spaces) -press enter-

Now try re-booting the system again, with no other changes


hope this helps

Edit
P.S I just run msconfig and under autoexec and config.sys there is nothing there, it is all blank.

Re-boot the system and hold the CTRL (or F8) key until the boot menu appears.

i think there might have been a spelling mistake i typed ren but meant run please try again for me thanks

Thanks spud,

I tried but to no avail. Now it says bad file.

As I told you on my second reply, I went to Start+Run+Msconfig+ Autoexec.bat & config.sys and both are empty now. so even if try to type RUN AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.OLD it wouldn't find since they are empty. Or am I wrong on saying this?

Also when u say (note 2 spaces) do you mean these spaces
RUN<1 space>AUTOEXEC.BAT<1 space>AUTOEXEC.OLD total 2 spaces?

Thanks again in advance

P.S I use F8 to go to boot menu

Just to let you know that I fixed the problem by installing Tweak UI program then going on menu+boot+set to default settings.

The C: prompts does not appear any more but I still have Autoexec.bat and Config.sys empty. I hope this won't affect windows in some way.

I do, however started another problem, which I still don't know whether it was caused by emptying autoexec and config.sys eventhough it started right after i deleted the files from config.sys and autoexec.bat.

The problem that I am talking about is IExplorer.

When I start IE, as I usually do, now i have to wait about 3-5 minutes for the IE to open. After trying to find out the cause, I managed to find a way not to wait for 3-5 for IE to open.
I just press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and close the IE and then I click again to open and it opens normal.

Any idea why? Any one? Please.
Thanks in advance
