AUTOEXEC.NT, CONFIG.NT and COMMAND.COM alternate FIX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to; Start --> Run
enter; cmd.exe

{ assuming the Win2K CDROM disk is in drive "D:" }
In the Command Prompt enter...
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32\autoexec.nt
expand D:\i386\config.nt_ %windir%\system32\config.nt
expand D:\i386\command.co_ %windir%\system32\command.com
