It is there, but only for backwards compatablity for legacy apps.
There are no entries, because again, w2k does not need it.
My suggestion is that you follow those lines and either put the app in the start-up folder or make an entry in the registry under hklm/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run

on what you want to accomplish.
The reg entry will start up before the start-up folder.
If you want to hide it from your users then stick it in the registry.
If not, then stick it in the start-up folder.
The reg entry will span all userswho log on.
The start-up folder will only be for the users profile you put it in, unless you put it in the "all users" profile. (don't put it in 1 profile and the all users profile, you will get 2 instances)

Autoexec.bat is a holdover form DOS.
In W2K, most of it's functions are performed by ntldr and boot.ini
The file is stile there should you need to install older hardware and software that uses MS-DOS mode access.
If you never install any old hardware, or run pure DOS applications, your autoexec.bat file will remain blank, and your system will run better.
