Which one among the following consists of a list of commands that is executed automatically as the computer system starts up ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

AUTOEXEC.BAT (short for Automatic Execution Batch file) is a system file used in DOS and early versions of Windows. It is a batch file containing a series of commands that the operating system executes automatically every time the computer boots up. It was typically used to set environment variables, run antivirus software, or initialize hardware drivers.

  • COMMAND.COM is the command-line interpreter (shell) for DOS, not the startup script itself.
  • CONFIG.SYS is a configuration file used to load device drivers and configure system memory before the command shell starts.
  • AUTOSTART.BAT is not a standard system file name in the DOS/Windows architecture.
