What you need to open is sysedit.
Just go to Start - Run - and type sysedit.
This will open the System Configuration Editor which should open multiple windows inside that and the first one should be Autoexec.bat.
From there, you should be able to adjust the problem.

Greg, its always helpful if you tell us which version of Windows you are running. I can't remeber from day to day. The most universal way is to open Notepad then open Autoexec.bat and edit the file in notepad. Any changes you make will not take effect until you reboot. If you are running Windows 98, you can edit autoex.bat from msconfig. If you are running Windows ME, you will not see autoexec.bat, as all changes are merged into environment settings in the registry.
K, I have it opened...
It has this which means totally nothing to me..
SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
K, so is this what loads when I start my computer?
I want the buttons on my taskbar to load differently so all I have to do is switch them around to the order I want the buttons on my taskbar to load. Thanks!

I think for that, you'd have to make a few adjustments to your system registry.
That...I do not know how to do.
Why would you want to do that anyway?
