I want to start one of my programme which acts as "Server" at the startup of my server machine.
I tried it by adding this command in autoexec.bat
c:\java MyTest
I took care of classpath and path.After running this autoexec.bat just after theabove line i.e java MyTest I am getting message that "This programme cann't be run in Dos mode."
What I can do to solve this problem

add the command lien to the registry under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
It will be executed during the startup of windows.

You could also place it in the STARTUP folder.

using JToExe program you can make that file as exe and put it in startup folder. Otherwise, if possible to try to make windows shortcut and place in startup folder

a batch file is just a text file. u need only one line of text c:\java MyTest and save it as myjava.bat. take care, that u really rename it as .bat, not as .bat.txt (per default u see no extensions on windows). type dir in dosbox to check it
