The "real autoexec.bat" would be, depending on your distro, something like /etc/rc.d./rc.local (I tend not to mess with /etc/rc.d/rc).
But if you would be looking for something like the windows Startup folder in Linux, for kde you could use, ${HOME}/.kde/Autostart (at least under Mandrake).

Scripts located in the /etc/rc directories are executed and different run levels when the machine is rebooted. These do tasks like establish networking, identify the machine, mount file space. To have application lauch each time you login, these commands should be put in one of he .profile files or a variant like .bash_profile.

A friend of mine actually uses emacs as his shell (as opposed to bash, ksh etc)! You can set that in /etc/passwd.
