I think this one is fairly straightforward.

Using UltraEdit, create a text file fred.bat (or any name) with contents
(all on one line, I assume)
cmd /k reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v
"ForegroundLockTimeout"

Place it in
C:\Documents and Settings\Hans\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (change Hans to
your username)
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

This should work. Or you could put a shortcut in this location and point it
to to fred.bat
