    Batch File Calling

    I work in a College that uses a LAN. Obviously normally when a PC is booted the OS is loaded and you are presented with the user logon screen. But how can i run a batch before this happens, basically have it run as the PC is booting up? I have tried calling it from the autoexec.bat but this does not work. Any one have any advice please
    Thanks

    Matt

    Run it as a service (using firedaemon or srvany) or use autoexnt. Task scheduler may also give you that option (Win2k's version does).

    You may find this tool called 'AutoRuns' from Sysinternals, useful for seeing what options you have to start things at or around boot up.

    You can find it here:

    They have many other cool tools too.
