SUMMARY
When you log on to a Windows NT machine, Winlogon processes the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set your environment variables and the PATH.
However, the following restrictions apply to all SET statements:
- Conditional set ("IF") statements are not processed.
- Environment variables cannot be removed (unset). For example, "SET WORKDIR=" does not remove the WORKDIR environment variable.
In short, only SET and PATH statements are processed.
