Let's be clear: Normally,
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS DO NOT NEED TO BE RUN TO START WINDOZE.
It requires extra time to do this during Startup (normally a complete waste)
and Windoze has ITS OWN Config files.
That said, the OP may well want to play this game *often* at Startup,
making Keith's suggestion apt.
To make it an easy option, the OP could add lines to AUTOEXEC.BAT like:
CLS
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO "Crusader:No remorse" is about to start.
ECHO If you DON'T want to play "Crusader:No remorse", hit Ctrl+C
ECHO.
ECHO If you DO want to play "Crusader:No remorse",
ECHO.
PAUSE
[Disk]:\[AppPath]\[AppName]
(The PAUSE command puts up a line of text that says
"Hit any key to continue" and waits.)
Ctrl+C aborts the batch file.
Here is M$'s page on all of this:
