[Win 8] Execution of a DOS command each time a user logs off

Hi

In all editions of Windows 8, how do I make sure that it executes a DOS command each time a user logs off?

Thanks

group policy.

group policy.

I know that too, but Windows 8 Standard does not have the group policies. So, how do I do this?

Thanks

You don't have any other options as Task Scheduler doesn't even have a logoff option.
You would probably have to start looking at 3rd party utilities that monitor the computer shutdown.

By chance, in Windows 8 Standard (and in other editions), there is one registry key or entry that can perform a reg command that is executed when a user logs off? This key or entry must operate at the global level.

In practice, in Windows 8, there is the Enabled item in the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Aut hentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch that takes the value 0 whenever a user logs off. Since the group policies do not exist in Windows 8 Standard, I looking for a registry key or item, which operates at the global level, in order to make sure that the "reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Aut hentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f" command is executed when a user logs off.

Thanks
