Thanks to everyone who helped with my last question (disable dos). I
had a great time with my friend. I disabled copy, del, dir, etc. I ren
a lot of the external commands and replaced all these with a file a 
wrote that displayed random messages like, "Error!", "Bad command or
file name." etc. My friend got truely frustrated. It was great. (Of
course I fixed his system once I'd had my fun (and won the bet)).

I have another question: Where are good places to put things you want
called every time the computer is turned on? Autoexec is kinda obvious.
Command.com is going to be the first place he'll look (same friend, no
bet this time). I was thinking of msdos.sys, but I have no idea how to
add something to it. I realize this is complex, so mayby you could just
direct me to a book. Any other ideas would be appreciated. 

Usual disclaimers.
