I was thinking that perhaps the macro recorder in Windows could be used. If
you make a macro that closes Windows and runs the macro recorder as the
first line of a BATch file (sorry I haven't even used the program, and
don't have it installed) you might be able to run the program of choice as
line two.
BUT! Since the BATch file is started in Windows will it not be closed
together with Windows? (Assuming that Windows even will be closed with a
BATch file up and running).
I think that you would need to call windows through a BATch file when you
first start it up and write to this file and then exit Windows.
Something like this should do the trick:
winstart.bat:
echo win.com > startwin.bat
startwin.bat
program1.bat:
echo program.exe >> startwin.bat
echo winstart.bat >> startwin.bat
[macro recorder line to close Windows]
