Comment:

I have a logictech mouse and i am using Dos 6.22. I have downloaded the driver for the mouse and copied it to c:\mouse\ .
After opening c:\mouse\mouse.exe the driver is installed and the mouse will work. I need to know how exactally to make the driver run when the computer starts itself. In other words, I need to know how to make the mouse work when the computer starts. I ALREADY HAVE THE MOUSE DRIVER. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE. I AM MUCH OBLIGED FOR YOUR EFFORT WHOM EVER YOU ARE. THANKS AGIAN!

Exactally?
add the appropriate line in c:\autoexec.bat:
c:\mouse\filename.ext
or, more commonly, loaded in upper memory:
lh c:\mouse\filename.ext

If?
Tried & true method - since you're currently loading the mouse from the command line, the way to have it automatically execute is via the autoexec.bat

No you would not.
To invoke Windows you enter the command:
win

.. or you can have it as the last line of c:\autoexec.bat to save you the effort of typing.
The Windows path should already have been declared in the PATH statement, but it will load several nanoseconds faster if you do specify it, as in:
c:\windows\win

DOS instructions are very specific - an understanding of the grammar and the purpose of the various commands cannot be overemphasized.
