Can you not just put a shortcut to mspaint.exe in the user's startup folder?

But for reference:

Code:

@ECHO OFF

CLS

START mspaint.exe

EXIT

in notepad then save it as x.bat

Only if you put it into the user's startup folder or add it to the runonce key in the registry. Do you want it to start up every time the machine boots or just once?

Every time will be much easier- just write the batch file as above and copy it into:

%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up
