"Last Log In -- Date: Aug-09-2006, Time: 02:00:00pm".

You can easily do this yourself, by placing the following
batch file into your Startup folder, under any name you like:

@echo off
if exist "%temp%\logon.log" type "%temp%\logon.log"
echo Last Log In -- Date: %date%, Time: %time:~0,8% > "%temp%\logon.log"
echo.
pause

There are five lines in this batch file. Unwrap them if nexessary.
 
hi,

i created a text document using word. how do i create an .exe file to run
from sart up? is there a windows program where i can create a .exe file?

using msconfig at start, run i located the where the start up files are
located.
using regedit at start run i found the folder:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RUN

using right click in the folder above i think that i can create a reg-SZ line.

is the above procedure correct ?

thanks

I will expand on my previous instructions:
1. Click Start / Run
2. Type this (VERBATIM, please!):
notepad "c:\documents and settings\all users\start
menu\programs\startup\startup.bat" {Enter}
@echo off {Enter}
if exist "%temp%\logon.log" type "%temp%\logon.log" {Enter}
echo Last Log In -- Date: %date%, Time: %time:~0,8% > "%temp%\logon.log"
{Enter}
echo. {Enter}
pause {Enter}
3. Save and close the file.
4. Test it.
 
hi,

oh yeah,
thanks it works perfectly. displays a windows with:
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. and the last log in date and time.

is there any way of getting rid of the scroll bars, i adjusted the length
and width and the colors of the window, but no option for scroll bars.

thanks

Here is an alternative batch file:

@echo off {Enter}
if exist "%temp%\logon.vbs" cscript "%temp%\logon.vbs" {Enter}
echo Result = MSGBox("Last log in on %date% at %time:~0,5% ", 0, "Last
Logon") > "%temp%\logon.vbs" {Enter}
