I know all of two things about autoexec.bat: jack and s**t. Sounds cool, though.
Cool! I've recently become the .bat file king... anything I can do with one I do it... click of a button and all of my mundane duties get done.
It's not really impressive. I'm building a site that is going to link to streaming audio clips on another site (which we also own, of course). As it stood, we were planning to simply copy the descripton of each clip over into the other DB...but obviously that's quite inefficient. If we change the description in one place, it'll remain unupdated in the other.

So, I just re-wrote the MySQL connection class to connect to either database...the one containing the data for the site in question, or the one containing the audio clips and descriptions. This means we can easily go and grab the description dynamically now.

The concept is simple...re-writing the class was a little tricky, though, as it had to be done so that you could jump from one DB to the other easily. Took a little figuring, but it works now. It'll save us time in the long run.
Spill it!
Had me a cool little "geek triumph" this morning. And with Linkin Park playing, no less. Life is good.
