Limitations Using SET Commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT File (102064)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102064 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.
