CONFIG/AUTOEXEC.NT not run by command window

Hello everyone,

I have a new XP system on which I have 3 accounts, 1 admin account, and 2 limited 
accounts.  When I start a command window under the admin account, CONFIG.NT and AUTOEXEC.NT 
are executed, but when I do the same under either of the limited accounts, CONFIG 
and AUTOEXEC are not executed.  

CONFIG.NT and AUTOEXEC.NT are in %SystemRoot%\system32\.  I am launching CMD.EXE 
from a link, not a PIF.  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun 
is empty and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun is not 
present for any user.

Any ideas?  TIA for your help.

Kevin
