Any idea how RunOnce.exe works?

As it's available on all windows versions it's interesting for me to understand how it works.
I supposed that If I add registry keys as it described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310593
and run it it will start the notepad but nothing happened.

When I run I can see only a windows that stars for a moment but nothing more....

Ahaam. The values added to registry starts the program right after login and before everything else (even before the explorer.exe).
But still dont know how to use runonce.exe. ..

It's not something that I've had a need to look into.

See if a batch file will launch - like this to create a file and pause.

Code: Select all

@echo off
type nul>"%temp%\testrun.txt"
pause
