The above-mentioned AutoIT script doesn't work. Testing CachemanXP v1.1. Anyone have any suggestions for this wonderful program?

I totally forgot about the SLEEP cmd, thanks. That might work better actually unless a batch file can delete itself after it's finished running. Does anyone know that answer?

I imagine the solution is very simple, but I'd like to see other suggestions. Thanks bryanh, but I'd like to avoid 3rd party scripts if possible. Maybe add an xcopy command in the 1st batch file to copy the 2nd batch file to the Startup folder of the admin's Start Menu? Then adding a DEL command to auto-delete the 2nd batch file for complete cleanup?

Hmm... my first batch file is in there, but it runs BEFORE the desktop appears. All that shows up is a DOS prompt window. Is there any way I can get a batch to run after the desktop and the toolbar appears? See, the links and files and whatnot only appear after the desktop and toolbar appear, so they cannot be deleted until then.

Great, thanks for the info angadsingh007. Another question. If I put another batch file in the GuiRunOnce area, wont it just run right after my previous batch finishes? Or will it then load the Windows desktop THEN run the batch? I need the latter essentially and I'd test it right now but I've got a DVD-sized unattended setup and it takes a while to test. Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I'm in need of deleting a lot of useless shortcuts created from some of my unattended setup disc, namely stuff like Favorites, Start Menu folders and links, etc. The problem is, none of the files show up until AFTER my batch file is finished and the Windows desktop & start-menu loads for the first time. Does anyone have any recommendation how to get a 2nd batch file to run after the Windows desktop loads, preferably AFTER the 1st one finishes and after an automatic reboot? Also, I'd like to add a DOS command that restarts Windows after the batch file completes. A timer would be nice too. BTW, I've searched but the search is kinda... hinky sometimes. Couldn't quite find the words to describe what I was looking for and the closest match brought up numerous different things. Thanks for the help in advanced guys.

Thanks Alanoll, exactly what I was looking for.

The search kinda sucks for specifics.

I know there's a way to decompress the compressed files on the original Windows install CD, but I can't remember how. Anyone? Thanks in advanced. BTW, I searched but the search function seems to search partial words mostly. =\
