Guest account Winxp Pro-batch file

G

Guest

For reasons too long for this, we had to instate the Guest account on some of
our laptops. There is a batch file that I would like to have run everytime
this account is started but I can't find where to put this batch file. The
guest account recreates it's profile at login (and removed it at logoff).
I've tried to put it in the All User startup and also in the Default user
Startup-neither worked. So I'm hoping that someone could lead me down the
right path.

Guest

I've tried several options in GPEDIT and none seem to affect the Guest
Account. I've gone through all the registry settings also, setting them to
turn off the screen saver and nothing seems to work.

I'm looking for where the Guest account gets it's profile setup from as I'm
sure where that's done I might be able to copy my batch file to.

Place the batch file into the Startup subfolder of the All Users
profile folder, then start it like so:
@echo off
if /i not "%UserName%"=="Guest" goto :eof
(place your own lines here)
