it run a reg file and powershell script stored in c:\windows

Those will change the taskbar.

it has to be run on user login not system startup.
by default login scripts wait 5 minutes
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->  System -> Group Policy -> Configure Login Script Delay = set it to disabled.

Hello David,

Thanks for the response
I have set that to disabled.
Now i Have the batch file in c:\windows\taskbar.
And the batch file contains command to run reg key and power shell script.
Shall I add that batchfile in
User configuration>scripts>logon
Logon:
Add > scriptname:"path\task.bat"
Do I need to include script parameters(cmd /c)

Regards

task.bat / task.cmd should just work
