I deleted files necesary to start windows

I thought the autoexec.bat file(s) was not needed to start windows, so I deleted it. I also set Links (the game) to automatically run when I restart in MS-DOS mode, because this is the only program I run in it. After deleting the file(s), I restarted my PC in DOS and it started up Links, but my PC does not have enough memory. my pc says: press any key to continue, and then my pc restarts. After having delete the files my pc cannot start windows and the program Links keeps looping and I keep restarting my computer to continuosly loop the program. My pc is broke unless someone can tell me how to fix it. Please help!!!

Quit the program and get a DOS prompt. Type C:\WINDOWS\WIN.
