    Ummm... you know you can set a password in the bios? It'll work. BTW, your autoexec batch file is... interesting... Did loops before, but nothing quite like that.

    If you don't want to set a password in your bios, you can check here for a dos program:

    The bios password? ya I know you can set that, but it only protects the bios from being entered.

    Actually, there should be 2 options in setting a password in the bios. One is system, the other setup. If setup, that will have a password only for bios setup. For system, it will set a password for the system as well as the bios setup.

    Also, check my edit above.

    Clear the autoexec.bat file. You don't need it in Windows and have a monster there. I don't even want to see you config.sys file. Clear it too. Set up a password in bios and get on with life.

    P.S. I saved a copy of this autoexec.bat file as the worst example of a crappy .bat that I have ever seen. Did I say thanks?

    Don't sweat it sark, I was merely commenting on the autoexec.bat file. It is truely an astounding piece of programming. I am curious, did it actually execute?

    Here it is:

    SET CTCM=C:\WINDOWS SET SOUND=c:\SB16FX SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E SET BLASTER=A220
    I5 D1 H1 P330 T6 @ECHO OFF CLS REM 6354201 CLS CHOICE /C:0123456789 IF
