Phil,
I don't honestly know of a way to make the batch file run at shutdown
without the option in Group Policy. And I don't think it would do any good
to try to run it at boot. That's when NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf gets created.
However...
You can still create the batch file and have it run to delete
NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf. It'll save you some steps.
Open Notepad | Paste this in >>>
del c:\windows\prefetch\ntosboot-*.* /q
Click File | Click Save As | Save it as >>>
ntosboot.bat
Save it where ever.
I have a folder that I keep batch files in. I then place shortcuts
elsewhere and use the shortcuts to run the batch files.
By saving ntosboot.bat you can just double click it (or the shortcut) to
delete NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf. You don't have to go through all whatever
steps you're using now to find and delete it.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
