It's a system file, so it may be hidden. Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools/Folder options. Under "View", make sure to check the option that says "Show all hidden files and folders".
After you click OK, you should be able to see the Autoexec.bat file in C:\ You can open it with Notepad to see its contents. However, Autoexec.bat is normally empty under Win XP.
