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

Thanks, dont work though

Ive got:

c:\test.bat

and

test.reg, which is

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce,"SilentApp",,"c:\test.bat"

but I get:

QuoteThe specified file is not a registry script.You can only import binary files from within the registry editor

Still missing something

Ah! need [  ] brackets  

edit:

hmmm, it went into the registry ok, but the batchfile didnt run  :?


Woo!

QuoteWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz170]

@="Mapped Drives"

"1"="test.bat"

Works
