Running program at first logon AFTER desktop is displayed

[vkcelik]

Hello

Yeah as the title says i wanted to know if it possible to run a program (batch script) at first logon after the desktop is displayed.

I know this is possible using the HKCU\...\CurrentVersion\Run or HKLM\...\CurrentVersion\Run registry keys. This will execute after the desktop is loaded but it will also get executed at every logon. I only need to have it executed 1 time at the first logon. I could try to delete the Run keys using the batch file after it has invoked it but the batch file doesnt have rights to edit in the registry

I also tried using the RunOnce keys but it gets executed before the desktop is loaded causing the batch file not to function properly

mine takes about a min and a half to get to desktop on a good machine

timeout /t 180

Can have that at top and it will delay
