I created a batch file and placed at some location say c:\batch.bat
Then created a new key for RUNONCE entry by right clicking the RUNONCE and selecting NEW-->Key and then need to give the path of the batch file(here it isC:\batch.bat) under datavalue.
The path for runonce is HKey_local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Hi,

I managed to finish the task, but want in some different way. When the user logs on to the machine next time where I made the changes to the runonce key to execute a perticulet batch file, the user gets a command prompt and he could see even the command.
