Script to run at BOOTUP not startup(login)

[Guest tdmailbox@yahoo.com]

I have a batch file that I want to run at bootup rather then

startup. I know I can make it into a service but I dont want to go

through all that. It is a simple one line batch file that just resets

a drive that connects to my computer.

 

I have it in in the startup folder now but it waits for me to login

and then runs. Any way to get this to run when I fire up the PC?

XP Home or XP Pro?

If you're using WinXP Pro, you can use a startup script (this is entirely

different than the startup group for shortcuts), assigned via local or group

policy. If you're using XP Home you're out of luck,. I'm afraid.

You can use the Task Scheduler (visible in the Control Panel) to run your

batch file at boot time.
