Hi

In all editions of Windows 8, how do I make sure that it executes a DOS command each time a user logs off?

Thanks

Bye

Balubeto,

Use the Task Scheduler and set your trigger as shown below:

RG, looks like you have selected “Winlogon” as the source. What about “winlogoff”?

Jim,

There is no Winlogoff! Code 7001 = Logon 7002 = Logoff. HTH :cheers:

Makes sense!

I just learned about something very similar to that. I learned that for Windows Defender (Windows 8), you have to go to Task Scheduler in order to set up scanning schedules. There’s no way to do that inside of Windows Defender! Event ID 1 gives you a quick scan, and Event ID 2 gives you a full scan.

The Task Scheduler settings look a lot like you are filling in values in the Windows Registry; in other words, Task Scheduler is a shell for the Windows Registry.

Back in the day, we referred to this stuff as “Command-Line Parameters”.

By chance, in Windows 8 Standard (and in other editions), there is one registry key or entry that can perform a reg command that is executed when a user logs off? This key or entry must operate at the global level.

Thanks
