I've done this before.  Again it requires patching your COMMAND.COM.  Using
DEBUG, search for the string AUTOEXEC.BAT and replace it with your own batch
file, something like TEMPEXEC.BAT.  Write and quit DEBUG.
Next create your file.  Something like this:

     @ECHO OFF
     ...
     your stuff goes here.
     ...
     \AUTOEXEC

Now hide the file using ATTRIB TEMPEXEC.BAT +h

He should have a hard time finding your changes.

Have fun
