As an Old Dos Girl this was impossible in Batch-Jobs

but see, here in Xp is it possible !

This is the file i have in my Start Menu\Programs\Startup Folder.

The file is named: Startup.cmd

Cls
@Echo Off
RD /S /Q "%Userprofile%\Favorites\links"
Del /F /Q "%Userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\*.lnk"
RD /S /Q "%Userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"

Del /F "%Userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Startup.cmd"
Exit

Well the clear screen isn't required at the beginning since the batch would open a new console, you dont need to exit at the end if the file's already gone and the last line could then just say

Del %0

But I'm sure someone may benefit from the information, after all most of us want to learn something whilst here!

Isn't this the good ol' self deleting batch?

It should work on 9x too.
