I'd like to clean/fix registry every day with an automated task that
startup the computer at 9 a.m., logon with Administrator account,
clean and fix registry and, at the end, shutdown the computer.

I have scheduled computer startup by BIOS, I have build a WSH script
to run in machine\scripts\startup and setup Autologon registry keys
with administrator account and password but I don't know what I'll do
to reboot the system, before logon procedure, to apply new settings.

I've tried Shutdown.exe but it isn't working because I want to use
Friendly Welcome Screen for my family (actually, the Microsoft
KnowledgeBase says that there is a bug in this situation; shutdown.exe
works properly only with classic logon type).

Do you a tools or a procedure to help me ?

Thanks

I use the Friendly Welcome Screen, and the following manual command works for me

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 1 -c "Restart"
