I want a c:\batchfile.bat to run on a users first login and then not run on subsequent logins. I think the term is "run once" but I dunno.

Does it help to put the batch here ? :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Still missing something :(

Ah! need [ ] brackets :D

edit:
