I have several hundred Windows 95 systems. The only thing I
have in the Autoexec.bat file is the McAfee Virus scan on
boot-up. I do not have a config.sys file. For systems with
older cards or users that use DOS software that require 16
bit drivers, I use the config.dos file and the powertoy dos
configuration wizard.
On systems with PlugnPray hardware the autoexec.bat &
config.sys are not required.
