There MUST be a trick...
>From what I've read on the web, XP doesn't use batch files during startup
and there's no one particular file it even starts from like older version of
Windows...
Here's my problem.
Some cookies get a death grip on my computer. None of the various standard
methods of deleteing cookies and clearing files removes them. Even trying
to lock out ALL cokies doesn't work as many websites just bypass security
measures and dump them to the drive anyway. Using a different browser
didnt' work, no accept, no function.
I have to restart into safe mode, sign on as an admin, go to my default user
account, browse the hard drive and delete the files... THEN, restart again
in regular mode, as opposed to safe mode, and hope it took, which seems to
be about 75% of the time, go figure.
Is there a trick to running a batch file or command line during startup in
XP before a user account is assigned? All I want is to go to a directory,
run del *.*, then back out.
Any ideas or routes of research appreciated.
Kurt
