Run task before logging off?

[Guest simonc]

I made some temporary changes to various security settings for a particular

purpose and know there is a danger I'll forget to reset them afterwards. Is

there any way you can get a reminder/task to run whenever you try to log

off/shut down which would prompt you to reset them?

 

Grateful for ideas.

The best way is to set a restore point before you change them. All you then

have to do is restore back to this point to restore normallity.

 

If you want to set yourself a reminder to do this, then just create a .txt

file with the reminder text and move it to

 

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

 

The text file will auto open in Notepad next time you startup and log in to

any account.

You can implement a logoff or shutdown script that restores the settings you

have modified.

 

Use Startup, Shutdown, Logon, and Logoff Scripts:

Setting up Login/Logoff, Startup/Shutdown Scripts (refer to Scripts):
