Running scripts during shutdown
Hi everyone, Is it possible to run a script before windows XP shutdowns and I am not refering to shutdown scripts. For example, when a user clicks Start > Shutdown in Windows, the system should run a script and then shutdown. I think it has to do something with group policies. So far, most How To... only show me how to write the script and leave it on the desktop. User's would have to click on this script on the desktop to shutdown - I cannot use this method. Thank you. Best wishes

Win2000 Unattended Installation Problem
hi clare, The [GuiRunOnce] will excute both Commands before rebooting. Note that Command2 will NOT be excuted if your system reboots. One of the ways to run bm.cmd is to copy the file to your startup which is located in your start menu. For example, you can add this after your Installing IE6sp1 command ECHO. ECHO Copying bm.cmd to Startup copy "C:\install\bm.cmd" "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" USERNAME = Your Profile Name When the system reboots it will run the bm.cmd script.Add this at the end of your bm.cmd script: del "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\bm.cmd" This would prevent bm.cmd script from running again. Don't forget to remove the Command2 line under your [GuiRunOnce]. Hope this helps.

XP Crashes
Hi there, I had the same problem before, I could not load windows XP after entering my user password. I could not find what caused it but I entered Windows XP in safe mode and create a new user account, copied all my files over and deleted the old account. I know that this would reset some of your setting but this could be one of your options if you can't fix it. Hope this helps.

Compare Win 95, ME, NT, XP
Hi there, As a part time job, I troubleshoot pc's for my university and I have noticed that pc's running Windows ME have a tendency to crash and have lots of error messages. (It could be the way Windows was setup on the machines but I believe that Windows ME is just unstable.) As such I sugest to either use Win98SE or XP. You might also want to increase your RAM size to 256MB or more. Depending on the type of pictures and the kind of photo editing software that you use, some of these software could use up a lot of RAM. Hope this helps.

HI there, Just place your script in your Startup located in your Start Menu.Don't forget to delete the script after running it - else it will run everytime you start up Windows. To copy your script to the Startup Menu you can use this method. Copy [location,filename] [location] example: copy C:\scriptfile.cmd "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" Remember to use " ". Hope this helps
