 No path statement that I can see in AUTOEXEC.NT:

@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

Here's the PATH statement as reported from an MSDOS session:

C:\>path
PATH=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32\WBEM;c:\util\command;

Note the following:

1) C:\ isn't on the path

2) The custom-made folder C:\Util\Command (where I copied W98-DOS from another
system) is... though I'm not sure where it's stored-- it's not in the PATH in
the Environment Variables listed above.
