Like this...

BATCH.CMD

REG.EXE ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "DelFile1" /d "CMD.EXE /C DEL /F /Q \"%PROGRAMFILES%\blablabla\FILE.EXE\""

REG.EXE is include with Windows XP and don't forget that many Windows files in Program Files folders are protected by WFP

Does xp home have REG.EXE to, can someone check for me

and if you do check also if you have xcopy.exe in your system32 folder, just whant to know

Does xp home have REG.EXE too

Yes, it has. XCOPY.exe is present too.

The main things missing (from unattended point of view) is taskkill.exe and gpedit.msc and PageFileConfig.VBS.
