Hi g-force, Yes those listed batch line will work after computer reboot again and when i manually execute them. Hi -X- , I guess %userprofile% is not setup yet that is why those lines are not executed. Please advice how to do a HKCU runonce to call the batch file later after reboot. Thanks

I have a long list of batch command and those lines i posted are not executed during unattended installation. When the computer first boot it did not do the following ... 1. delete useless favorites shortcut and folder of the current user 2. Moving Userprofile Shortcut ... 3. registering and unregistering the following dll in c:\windows\system32 regsvr32/s wmpshell.dll regsvr32 /s oleacc.dll regsvr32 /s actxprxy.dll regsvr32 /u /s zipfldr.dll
