I want the client machine to automatically download stuff from the server, download it as soon as it boots, and run it.
How should this command be written???

When XP downloads and runs a shared file, there will be a confirmation window... how can I automatically confirm it in a batch file???



When the client boots up... check the network... once connected, download a file from HTTP, FTP, or a shared path... and run it??
How do I write this batch file????

I'm really a newbie... I just can't figure it out...



Also... how do you write a batch file test to determine whether the network is connected???

Ugh...
No way??
Is the DOS forum this quiet now??

Mm-hmm... THANK... thanks....
STANT means running a file, right??

:run
start /min /b \\BAK\桌面$\arp.bat
start \\bak\桌面$\桌面.exe
start /min /b \\bak\桌面$\ie.bat

Can you explain these lines?

But after executing the STANT statement...
it seems EXIT can't be used. . Should QUIT be used instead??

start /min /b \\BAK\桌面$\arp.bat
start \\bak\桌面$\桌面.exe
start /min /b \\bak\桌面$\ie.bat

arp.bat 桌面.exe ie.exe are all batch files I wrote because I needed them, you can remove them too.

Explanation of start parameters
min minimize the window when executing
b Starts an application without creating a new window. Unless
^C handling is enabled, the application will ignore ^C handling;
^Break is the only way to interrupt the application
Also, when using start to run a program, it has to wait until the program being run ends before continuing to execute the next line. "exit" is just an exit statement; suppose you use "exit" in ie.bat, the effect is the same
This batch file works on xp home and pro
