Load Drivers and Programs into High Memory (Windows 3.1/DOS) Category: Home > Tips and Tricks > Configuration Files > AUTOEXEC.BAT Programs and device drivers loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file are normally loaded straight into low memory. This change allows them to be loaded high. Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file found in the root directory of your C: drive using Notepad or another text editor (not Microsoft Word or any word processor). In front of any lines loaded applications or drivers, for example MSCDEX.EXE, appended "LH" (for Load High), for example:
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 These changes will take place on the next reboot.
