Windows NT - methinks that Autoexec.bat is NOT used by NT, I think it uses Autoexcec.nt which is in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.  

I suggest you bring autoexec.nt onto your monitor and have a read

Good luck

Ty for help ,but it still doesnt work  :-/

The autoexec.nt file is only processed when you start the MS-DOS prompt program (command.com). Do not confuse this with the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) which is initialized by Windows.

If you want code executed when you boot the machine, create a batch file and put a shortcut to the file in the Startup folder.

Hope this helps.

yeah ,ty ,it is a good ideia ,but i wanted the bat boots before i log in at my user .

Before you logon   There is a registry key (actually 7 keys) that handle this situation. Try searching the Microsoft MSDN site for full details.

Sorry to be so vague, but running a batch file to delete a file before login doesn't come up too often.
