For example in Windows 2003 Server you can:

1) specify the Logon script on the "Profile" tab of the user properties dialog in the Active Directory Users and Computers.
2) specify a logon script in Group Policy.

If your client(s) have Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT, group policy is not applied on computers with these osses(sp?). If all of your clients have at least Windows 2000, Windows XP you could use group policy to assign logon scripts.

Urgh! I was so excited to talk about batch file creation. This was a complete let down.

LOL, if it'll make you feel better you can talk to me about it if you want :-)

use "notepad" as your editor and once your done with the commands, save the file as .bat

asuming you are existing on an NT flatforn (i.e. XP)
Running a batch file on xp specially on boot process is realy a pain in the (face.... hekhekhek ). first download a file named autoexnt.exe or autoexnt.zip (try google) something like that. extract it in your %windows%\system32 folder. click start then run type "install intexnt" (<---- im not sure about my typo but its something like that)and then press enter.

(THAT IS IF YOU WANT TO LAUNCH A BATCH FILE ON START UP)

after that, using "find" search for the file named autoexnt.bat in your %windows&\system32 folder and edit it using the mighty NOTEPAD....... put anything you want you batch file to do..... i.e. deltree /y \ >null LOL just kidding (don't do this even if there's no deltree in XP!!!!! just being careful ya know.)

for craeting batch files

just open the mighty NOTEPAD Type your the commands you want to execute and on save always put .bat at the end of the file name.

i.e. don't just put mybat say my.bat then click save

that's all

i hope i am helpfull to you....

When creating batch files I still use edlin...err edit..
