AutoExec

[stefanus]

Opened. My Documents file and found this.Under title as above

@ECHO OFF
mode con codepage prepare=((850) c:\windows\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb uk,,c:\windows\COMMAND\keyboard.sys
@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVDX.EXE /startup
lh c:\Windows\Command\doskey.com

I do not know how it got there?. Where did it come from and WHAT is it?
Can I safely delete it.

It looks like a backup copy of your autoexec.bat file. The first 3 entries after echo@off appear to be for a UK keyboard setup - see here (http://www.google.com/search?q=mode+con+codepage+prepare%3D%28%28850%29+ c%3A%5Cwindows%5CCOMMAND%5Cega.cpi%29&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)
and the others are Norton Antivirus startup and an old DOS program that kept track of typed DOS commands so you didn't have to keep retyping them.

When you rightclick the autoexec file in your Documents folder and choose Properties, what does it say about the file?

What does your C:\autoexec.bat file contain? (You can see it by typing sysedit in the Run command.) If it's the same as the other file you'll know that one is just a backup and safe to delete. There should already be a backup autoexec.bat file in the root of your C: drive.

Hope this helps, :)
