   That article definitely treats MS-DOS COMMAND.COM as Windows NT's CMD. It   
   shouldn't.   
      
   Windows NT's CMD.EXE, and 32-bit Windows NT's COMMAND.COM including the   
   NTVDM do not use AUTOEXEC.BAT. None of their code have any reference to   
   "AUTOEXEC.BAT". In 32-bit Windows NT, the only thing related to "AUTOEXEC",   
   is the AUTOEXEC.NT in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.   
      
   In CMD, AUTOEXEC.BAT regardless of its location, is just a normal batch   
   file. It's not a special batch file and doesn't have a special treatment.
