Where is a batch program being triggered from at logon
Hello:
I am in the process of removing printers from our older Print Server and adding printers from our new Print Server. I have a script that executes the removeprinters.bat file and then another script that adds the printers from the addprinters.bat file, that are triggered at logon from our Group Policy. The add/remove printer process is working just fine.
The problem is that I have 1 user that logs on to a laptop and he always wanted to have 1 specific printer to be his default printer. About 1.5 years ago, I created a batch program that specifies that network printer to be his default as he logs on to that specific laptop. I put the batch file in the user' C:\Users\username\AppData\
The problem is that I cannot find that batch program right now to edit/remove it. But, that program is still being triggered at logon.
If I navigate to the C:\Users\username\AppData\
How can I find the batch file that is being triggered on the laptop at logon? perhaps I should do a search on the computer for that file name? i do not see any reference listed in the registry (Computer\HKey Local Machine\Software\Microsoft
I will have a chance to look at this laptop tomorrow.

right away when this user logs on, the following batch program executes. And then then error comes up.
I will see if this error comes up for other users as well. I am conducting searches for the batch file. It may be important to mention that local group policy does not trigger anything at start up.

I figured out the actual problem on my own, I simoply was looking in the incorrect start up folder; however, being able to discuss the problem helped me bring some much needed clarity to figure it out.

I figured it out myself.

The local batch program which sets a default printer, is not run from the login script.
The local batch program which sets a default printer, is not run from the addprinters batch file (group policy).
