Hi,

I have a .bat file which has a command that installs a registry entry. I
have this .bat file execute at system startup through group policy. The
things is it not working at system startup. If i login and execute it, it
will then install. Anyone know why? is it something to do with the system not
being able to access the registry at system startup.

Craig,

Which Hive is it trying to install to? Some things like HKCU will not
be instantiated until the user logs on.
