Hi,
I need to know how to make a batch file that installs itself and then starts at startup (systray). I would like to use the batch file on my startup to map LPT1 back to the printer closest to me because often during the day I print to other locations on our network, and forget to change it back.

making a batch file and having it start up is easy. cant help with what you should put in it tho.

make a batch file by opening up a simple text editor and saving the file as .bat (if it wont let you save a .bat save it as .txt and rename it through explorer)
to have it run on startup put a shortcut in the startup menu
