Autoexec.nt sounds like an alternative or a back-up for autoexec.bat, which
runs processes once the operating system taken control from BIOS. I think
it might be safe to remove that file and, even more cautiously, move it to
a temporary location and see the outcome. It seems possible that some
process modified the file, which in turn could have been modified by a
service pack or the like.
Have a look at the file (edit) and see if it makes sense. If not, try
replacing it with c:\autoexec.bat, but make sure you keep a trail of
back-ups.
