Comment about 'Load DosKey in a DOS box automatically'

In Win2000, add a value
AutoRun=doskey
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor.

I use this to load a macrofile:
AutoRun=doskey /macrofile=d:\my-macros

Type cmd /? for more configuration options of the DOS box.

I have done just that, but the "arrow" keys don't work for command
line recall.  How is that accomplished in Windows 2k?

Thanks,
/Ed

I just created a Desktop shortcut that points directly to \WINNT\System32\CMD.EXE - it seems to run the 2000 equivalent of DosKey automatically, without editing the Registry.

You aren't using "command.com" are you? The shell in the NT platform is the called "CMD.EXE".
