Jean, It's not a pause that you should be looking for, there is a statement in there that requires the DosKey driver. You have three choices..... If you don't want to delete the files, then just rename them to *.BAK. Or you could post the contents of the two files here for us to view. Or a more prolonged form of agony would be to rem each individual statement one at a time rebooting in between each REMming until you find the culprit.
