   Which Service Pack version is that? Or is it a Gold / non Service Pack   
   version? Cause I have different results.   
      
   I have fresh installations of all Windows versions in VMs because I research   
   them a lot.   
      
   However for Windows 2000, I only have the SP4 version. In that version, it   
   does not process the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Same goes to Windows NT 4.0 SP6.   
      
   But in Windows NT 3.51 SP5, it does processes the AUTOEXEC.BAT.   
      
   So, somewhere in the Service Pack version of both Windows NT4 and Windows   
   2000, the AUTOEXEC.BAT processing is removed.   
      
   Regardless, the absence of this information makes the article suggest that   
   it applies to all Windows NT versions. Likely because it's no longer   
   updated.
