Any ideas? I don't even know where it is.

Well...you will find it in the root directory...however, Windows XP will ignore every command in it except setting of environment variables....

Well, I'm trying to get DJGPP running and in the directions (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq1.html) it says that I need to edit that file. Any other way that I can set this up?

Yes...as stated in the directions...

On Windows/NT, use My Computer->Properties->Environment to edit the default value of PATH for the DOS box, and to add a new variable DJGPP whose value is set to the full pathname of DJGPP.ENV, as shown above.

There files like autoexec.nt for they do the same work like autoexec.bat
It`s placed in C:\Windows\system32 (not sure for the pass, so use search to find them)
And most of all aoutorun soft is placed in the registry in LM\Software\Microsoft\Run (RunOnce and so on)
