Me doesn't use the autoexec and config.sys files.

Did you not go into the Environment tab as recommended??

In Microsoft Windows 98, the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files were used to set global environment variables. When real-mode MS-DOS was removed, another method was required to set global environment variables (PATH, SET =, etc). Windows Me solved this issue by migrating current environment variables during setup and placing them in the registry under the following sub key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment.
