What will happen if i delete all contents of Autoexec.bat Is the pc recoverable after that ?

Answer 1

My guess is that you are looking to delete stuff out of the autoexec.bat to reduce the amount of stuff loaded when you start the PC. What you can do is to open the autoexec.bat and in front of each line type: REM (followed by a space). This tells Windows not to load that line.

The effect is the same as deleting everything, but in the event that it causes your computer to incrrectly boot or something on it not to work, you can go back and remove the "REM " statement to fix the problem. Easier then trying to remember what all was in the autoexe.bat.

If everything works OK, (and I would give a week or so to be sure) then you may delete the stuff out of autoexec.bat.

Answer 2

Autoexec.bat is just a batch file script that sets certain Variables:
From WikiPedia
AUTOEXEC.BAT is only used on MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows versions based on MS-DOS, such as Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me. The file is executed once the operating system has booted and after the CONFIG.SYS file has been processed. On Windows, this occurs before the graphical environment has been started.

AUTOEXEC.BAT is most often used to set environment variables and run virus scanners, system enhancements, utilities, and driver handlers that must operate at the lowest level possible. Applications that run within the Windows environment upon its loading are listed in the Windows registry.

Lines prefixed with the string "REM" are remarks and are not run as part of AUTOEXEC.BAT. The "REM" lines are used for comments or to disable drivers (say, for a CD-ROM).

Hope this helps :-)

Answer 3

autoexec.bat is a collection of command(s) that will be run whenever windows starts. modifying or deleting autoexec.bat will not harm your computer. Starting from MS Window98 autoexec.bat is no longer used. Most parameters and commands are put in registry.
