AFAIK WinME purposefully ignores autoexec.bat.  IMHO WinME is a horrid
breakage of Win2k just to put a box with a smaller price tag on the
self.  I read an article in PC Magazine that described the "features"
of WinME.  Amongst them are:  media player doesn't work,  some virus
scanners don't work, can't configure the system with autoexec.bat, and
a bunch of other things too.  I read an article several years ago that
Win98 and NT4.0 were to be the last of the windows series before MS
combined them into one product and only have one line of windows from
now on.  I heard that WinME was created because there were people who
wanted to upgrade from Win98 but didn't want to pay the high price of
Win2k.

I don't think this helps much, but maybe you will find the information
interesting.
