Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I do not have another computer running a released version of Windows, however, I ran the bat file, although I had to point to another HKCU, in a virtual machine running a released version and it worked OK.

Is there another tool or method to try and run a scheduled job like this? I tried schtasks also and it did not work either.  are there any good task schedulers form other vendors you could suggest?

    Best regards
