I want to have a file called C:\AUTOEXEC.DDD that looks like this:

prompt $p$g
path c:\bin;c:\bat;c:\fluff;c:\dandruf;c:\batch;c:\dos;c:\freen;c:\gunk
echo this is only a test and if you buy it you are a potato head
echo if you realy think you are cool than you will jot down the date
echo and time now.
date
time

Now, I have this other file C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT that looks like this...

echo Eat this one foo bar!
copy c:\autoexec.ddd c:\autoexec.bat
del c:\autoexec.ddd
echo You can do it too!
rem Now I want the machine to do a Ctrl/Alt/Del Warmboot at this point
reboot

Now I get this when I turn the machie on! ...

<<CLEAR SCREEN>> <<HELLO COUNT RAM>> <<NOW HANG ON WHILE I BOOT TO DOS>>
;c:\dos;c:\freen;c:\gunk
Command not found
C:\> echo this is only a test and if you buy it you are a potato head
this is only a test and if you buy it you are a potato head
C:\> echo if you realy think you are cool than you will jot down the date
if you realy think you are cool than you will jot down the date

and it continus from there. what i want to do is have an autoexec.bat file
do a couple of wierd commands wait a little bit and then reboot with no
trace.

this does not work the way i would expect it to with the autoexec.bat file.
what i would like is no trace at all.

any suggestions?

thank you.
