Run Items Without Explorer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I am attempting to find a way that I can run a VBScript or a batch
file every time my image boots. This is more difficult than just
adding another Run key because I am not running explorer as the shell.
I was under the impression that in the abscence of explorer, the FBA
would process the Run items at every boot. However, testing has proved
this to be false, at least in my case. I also tried adding a RunOnce
item because a source indicated it is processed by the FBA during the
initial boot and every logon thereafter.

After some searching I am at a loss. So far I have tried setting the
Userinit key to run my script as suggested in the discussion entitled
"What runs the Run/Runonce settings ?". I have also tried adding a Run
item in TD with CMD as the filepath and batch/script included in the
arguments. This was suggested in another discussion entitled "Run
batch command after fba".

So currently I am at a loss, I want the script to run every time the
system boots and not just once during the initial FBA. For reference,
I am currectly running minlogon. I have also been testing lately with
the command shell for simplicity instead of our custom shell. Both the
command shell and the custom shell have exhibited the same symptoms I
described above.

It seems like this is a common problem, but I have not found a
resolution. Does anyone has some insight or suggestions?
