Thank you for your reply.

To answer Sparda, I am using Windows XP Pro, 2002.

Rick, can you please suggest an appropriate script-tutorial for the
type of script necessary? I will look around, but I am not sure I'll
easily find what you have in mind.

Batch files are OK.

If XP Pro, use Group Policy.

Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts
(Startup/Shutdown)

Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts
(Logon/Logoff)

%windir%\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown
C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown

%windir%\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup
C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup

To assign computer shutdown scripts
