Since autoexec is a batch file, it will take an argument.  I put all my
"sets" at the top of the autoexec and before the memres stuff goes in an:
"if not %1x==x goto end".  On cold boot, the whole file gets loaded because
the batch file doesn't get an argument.  From DV I load the command
"C:\autoexec.bat foo", in which case only the "sets" get done again.
