Not that either will matter.... I'd wager that 95% of problems that
appear after running scandisk suddenly show up because the file was
corrupted in some way and scandisk got rid of it. It may appear just
fine in the CONFIG.SYS but if the file isn't in the DOS or WINDOWS
directories (whichever is specified in the CONFIG.SYS) the line is
worthless.......
