How to execute a batch file on startup?

[Guest]

Is there any way to execute a batch file on system startup in Vista
Home Premium? I want it to execute when the system starts up, not
when someone logs in.

Wow, haven't used batch files in years.

Maybe this will help:

Proceed with caution. Some things are powerful and can give unexpected
results. Some are intended for XP and may not work as expected in
Vista.

Since gpedit.msc isn't included with any Home version of Vista, here is
a link that is a spreadsheet showing how to access the
Computer configuration
Windows Settings
Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)

Under the "All" tab of the spreadsheet, check out row 2032.
