Turns out that during boot, the system doesn't look at the permissions on the file, so I keep mine set to system, hidden and read only. Keeps people from messing around with it, and gives me a cleaner root. In fact, autoexec.bat runs fine with the hidden and read only attributes. All you can see when you list the roor are directories. -rick-
