Normal? Safe to delete this? Suggestions?

Thanks everyone for their help!
hmm
windowsxp does not use autoexec.bat and config.sys but some older programs might use them

both my files are empty

you can do something that is the equivelent of removing the info from the files.

at the start of each line put the word "rem" in front of it

this tells windows and command.com to ignore that line.

rem SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
rem SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
rem SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
rem SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
rem SET PROMPT=$p$g
rem SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
rem SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP


was there anything in your config.sys? you can rem them too.

keep us updated.
