OK, I am running Window XP Pro. I have the classic login screen activated.

My question is, when window boots to this, is there some where in the registry that will run a script, similar to the:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

That key runs anything after logging in.


The reason I am looking for this is because, I want to make my ghosting process as energy efficient as possible.

When Ghosting, there is a switch, -rb, that will reboot after it reimage the computer.

The thing is, I like to ghost at night and just leave my computer there and go to sleep. However, I don't want to leave my computer on all night because I don't want to waste electricity.

So, I like it that after ghosting and it reboots, it goes boots into Window and after 5 minutes of no movement, it runs a screensaver that I will create in VB. That screensaver will turn my computer off.

I am not writing a virus or whatever, so please don't think I am going in that direction. Like I said, I just want my computer to be shut down after ghosting.

Thanks
