Can I run a batch file when a user logs off?

[A. FJ]

I want to run a bat file when our users exit. Is there a registry key that
I can put the reference to the bat file?

Thanks.

If this is Windows 2000 look into group/local policies, depending on if you
are in a domain or not.

Hi

For Win2k/WinXP Pro, this is done by using a Group Policy Computer (GPO)
Configuration Logoff and/or Shutdown script. The GPO can be activated manually
with gpedit.msc.

From the Start menu Run dialog, open: gpedit.msc

for logoff script, under "User Configuration",
open Windows Settings\Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
(double click, Add...).

for shutdown script, under "Computer Configuration",
open Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
(double click, Add...).
