How can I automatically set a start up script to run each time my computer
starts? The script is to run at start up, after Windows has started, but
before any user is logged on. It cannot be run by Task Manager because Task
Manager has not yet started. I have tried that, it doesn't work.
I have this on another computer (both are Win XP Pro), but I can not figure
out how it was set up. I can see the script, and in fact I deleted to see
what happens, and Event Viewer just tells me that UserInit.exe failed with
EventID 1000. I put the script back and everything is fine.
How do I set it up on my other computer?
 
For what you describe you need to use a Group Policy startup script that you
can use gpedit.msc to open Local Group Policy and then go to computer
configuration/Windows settings/scripts. Then the script will run in system
context before any user logs onto the computer. --- Steve
