- You have a startup.cmd file in the root directory of your boot drive.
- The system will run this as an ordinary command file. If you want to
- eliminate it, erase the file. If you want the window to go away when
- it's done, place an "exit" statement at the bottom of the file. You
- imply in your document that you've a directory called startup.cmd - I
- don't know what this will do. I'd rename it if I were you. The
- normal startup folder that the system uses is a bit more than just a
- folder, so you can't just replace it with one.
