Also known as Autoexec, AUTOEXEC.DOS, AUTODOS7.BAT, AUTOEXEC.W40, AUTOEXEC.NT

AUTOEXEC.BAT is a system file that was originally on DOS-type operating systems. It is a plain-text batch file in the root directory of the boot device. The name of the file is an abbreviation of "automatic execution", which describes its function in automatically executing commands on system startup; the filename was coined in response to the 8.3 filename limitations of the FAT file system family. In the autoexec.bat file one can execute every command being available either internally within the OS-specific command.com TSR or as an extra command (.com/.exe files)

AUTOEXEC.BAT es el nombre de un archivo de sistema originario del sistema operativo MS-DOS que protege a la computadora de software malicioso. Se trata de un archivo de procesamiento por lotes, de texto simple, localizado en el directorio raíz del disco de arranque.​ Su nombre deriva de una contracción de la locución inglesa AUTOmatic EXECution ("ejecución automática"), y alude a su cometido de reunir ciertos comandos que serán ejecutados automáticamente al iniciarse el sistema.
