Hi I have a problem I need to launch a bat file at start up and shutdown, I have figured how to do it at startup, (WIN + R then shell:startup), but not shutdown, so can someone tell how to make a bat file run at shut down (even if you need gpedit or registry) please reply with step be step instructions, thanks :D (I'm using this for a backup system for a ram drive and I don't want to install programs)

Well... the way I see it, this can't be done, since shutdown itself will initiate closing of all apps and prevent creation of new tasks.

What you can do, though, is create a batch file which can be run manually, performing all your desired tasks and then initiate shutdown at the end as the last command.

So basically, instead of clicking "shut down" in windows, you would start your batch file manually.
