Check Box

[Slurpy316]

Hi

I am trying to put a checkbox at the bottom of an html page which will function in the same way as the 'Show this window when Windows starts' box on IE4 which displays immediately after install.
The purpose is to have the page run from all users\start menu\programs\startup and detail advanced configuration options for our engineers. Once it is no longer needed, i want to be able to have them uncheck the box and have it refrain from starting up.

If anyone has any ideas how i could do this i would appreciate it greatly.

The situation is this:

I want to have an html page load automatically at start up on newly installed workstations and servers cloned by scripted install. The html page will have links to .reg entries and the occasional batch file to add advanced settings specific to our company requirements.
At the end of this process i would like to have a button on the bottom of the page which can be pressed / box unselected to kill the html page link from automatic startup.

At the moment i am contemplating using a link to a batch file which will delete the link from the startup folder but i'm not sure how to rig it not to ask whether i want to save or open from current location.
If there is a more flashy and smartarse way of doing this i would prefer it.

This sounds more like a job for Visual Basic than a web page

Could you not make a batch file/VB app that makes the changes you want, put a shortcut to it the startup directory by default, and have the script delete the shortcut once it has executed?

The changes / additions will vary from situation to situation so some degree of manual selection is required as well as documentation.

Also, we don't trust our engineers to do everything on the first run so we want it to keep at them untill they do it.
