I wonder if anyone knows why when I delete the following entries from
autoexec.bat, they magically re-appear after the next boot. I have tried
REMming them out, deleting them completely and disabling them in MSCONFIG
without success. They always reappear at the next boot.

HELP!

The following lines are what i'm trying to get rid of (I don't use DOS games
or applications and don't need sound support for them)

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330  T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM



An article in Smart Computing said it was OK to get rid of these:

c%2Ebat

Thanks in advance!
