autoexec.bat under XP
I picked up a virus called dust.exe a couple of months ago. Managed to remove it except for the exe that sits in autoexec*
how do I get into autoexec.bat under XP to remove dust.exe.
Tried the 'run' command to no avail.

Thanks
WB

Right click on autoexe.bat then click on edit.

autoexec.bat isn't used in NT/2k/XP

That file is usually located in C:\autoexec.bat like windows (its only there for backwards compatibility)

The file that is used by XP is in C:\Windows\system32\autoexec.nt

More coffee please!
The 'Do not show hidden files and folders' was checked instead of the 'Show hidden files and folders' under Folder options.
No idea how it ended up at the default setting.
Fixed.

Thanks
