logoff script

[Gary Roach]

i'm running an xp home machine without any centralized user database (can't
assign a logoff script that way). i need to run a logoff script that backs
up a user's registry after they logoff and also when they shut down. is
there a logoff script program that enables this? i've heard kixtart does it
but i can't find any reference to that ability on their site.

thanks

That is a screenshot from XP Pro without the terrible new visual style.

Click "start" -> "run" -> type "mmc"

click "File" -> "add/remove snap-in" -> "add"

select "group policy" -> click "add" -> click "close" -> click "ok"

Hi

Note that the Group Policy editor is not available (and will not work if copied
in) for WinXP Home. Gary has a WinXP Home computer.

Ah. Sorry about all this then. hehe. My only experience with XP Home is
that I installed it for a client once. I knew that it was less functional
but sheesh, this is getting rediculous.

If you want something to do that _after_ they have=20
logged off, then you need a service or something that=20
runs as a scheduled task. Logoff scripts run during=20
logoff but before the logoff is complete.=20
