XP Pro and Start-Up Scripting

[CompBaron]

I originally had this posted in a forum on XP, but was recommended to move it to a programing forum. So here it is:

I've been fronted with an idea by my supervisor to have a computer in our lab have a list of the jobs that need to be done for that day pop open on the computer's start up, or Windows start up. Now, I know Windows XP Pro comes with Windows Script Host; is this the best scripting program to use? Is there a way to script a command to open a certain file when the computer is logged into and if so, how?

I'm really new to scripting so please forgive me if I ask a lot of questions along the way. Thanks!

If you are using a domain server and authenticating user logins it is fairly simple to have a batch file run when a user logs in. You put these scripts in a NETLOGON folder and point to them in you user profiles on the domain controller.

cant you just put a registry key in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>RUN

so youd have a string value and in the 'data' bit you would put something like c:\some\folder\jobs.txt

forgive me if this isnt what your looking for
