The Dos prompt shows up. I can type Win and boot into it but I would like it to be automatic.
The autoexec.bat has the WIN at the end of it.
Booting and Autoexec Screenshots.

I think that is why the "Windows" Path is being used because the WIN.com file is in there. So as I read in other places. As long as you supposedly had just WIN at the End the Windows boot up should happen. But it kicks back to DOS.DOS because you are calling "win" on the last line but it is not listed on the PATH variables.

SET PATH=C:Windows;C:
Sets the computer to look in the C:windows directory or the root if a command used at the prompt is not found.
WIN
Used for users using Windows 3.x, this line will load Windows automatically when booting the computer.
Note: If you want to start Windows automatically when you boot, place the line C:windowswin in the autoexec.bat

Yes!So let's assume your autoexec.bat contains this.
SET SOUND=C:SB16
You get this after a while.
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
C:SB16DIAGNOSE /S
C:SB16MIXERSET /P /Q
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:NDO2000;C:WINDOWS;C:DOS
SET TEMP=C:DOS
REM C:WINDOWSWIN
REM CD
WIN
C:_
You type in
win (enter)
And windows starts up?
No there are no such files.Does the C:ndo2000 folder contain a win.bat, win.com or win.exe?
Did you create a win.exe or bat file in the root folder?
I didnt know this commands. Thanks.Can you do the following.
Paste the 4 commands below in the command prompt and paste the contents of test.txt in this forum.
cd
dir win.* /s > test.txt
tree >> test.txt
set >> test.txt
First command goes to C: (just in case)
The second command should look for all instances of win on your system in all folders and copy then to test.txt
The third command should give a tree of all the folders and append them to test.txt
The fourth command should give a overview of all variables defined in autoexec.bat and append them to test.txt

In this caseGlad it works!
You could change the path so that c:dos is the last place to search. Should you have a need to use some DOS commands.
i.e.
path=c:windows;C:NDO2000;C:DOS
Never heard of Calmira II before, looks interesting, makes win3.1 look more like windows 95.
It would be something I would have messed with if I had known it 13+ years ago.
Trip down memory lane indeed!

So nice, can you move the screenshot post to the screenshots forum section as a new topic? http://reboot.pro/forum/25/
Maybe Opera can help: http://browsers.evol...opera/win16/362
This is definitively worth keeping around.

CommEx v1.20, a Windows 3.1 add-on utility which adds file management functions to the file open and save dialogs of most Windows applications. CommEx (which is a short name for Common Dialog Extensions) replaces the common dialog DLL that comes with Windows 3.1, so any application which uses this DLL for its File-Open and File-Save dialogs will benefit from CommEx. (This DLL has been a standard for several years, so most modern applications use it.)

It seems that way. Had to get a bit use to it. A bit rough but worked best in the test.Wow Opera 3.62. Was that the last to work in Win3?
Opera only started to become good with version 4.
