AUTOEXEC.NT file

    This isn't the usual question about this file - in that case it's spyware deleting it. Rather, it's an observation which I find fairly annoying.

    I usually add the command "kb16.com uk" into AUTOEXEC.NT so DOS applications running under NTVDM use a UK keyboard layout. If this is missing they will use a US layout no matter what Windows is set to use. But this seems to only work when the system default locale is set to English (United States). If I set it to Ireland, the program will use a US keyboard layout even if I have the command in AUTOEXEC.NT. It seems this file only gets processed with a US system locale. The Regional Settings can be set to Ireland no problem, it's the default locale that affects it (in XP it's on the Advanced tab in the regional settings).

    Does anyone know a way to get AUTOEXEC.NT to process with Ireland as my locale?

    How about just use a batch file as follows:

    @echo off
    kb16.com uk
    (dos program you want to run).exe

    Save the text file with the extension .BAT and just click it to run your dos application.
