SUMMARY
=======
If your CONFIG.SYS file contains a SHELL command with the /K switch, which
specifies a startup batch file in place of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and you use
the Interactive Boot option (F8) to start your computer, you still receive the
"Process AUTOEXEC.BAT (Y/N)?" prompt.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Regardless of the batch file you specify, you receive the "Process AUTOEXEC.BAT
(Y/N)?" prompt. If you respond no, your other batch file is processed. If you
respond yes, you are then prompted with the name of your other batch file and
given a choice to run it.
If you want to boot interactively but skip the batch file, choose yes to the
first prompt ("Process AUTOEXEC.BAT?") and no to the second prompt (when
prompted with the name of the alternative batch file).
