Default .BAT

Hi, i have recently started work where there is a
workgroup network set up. (due to lack of finances). The
network has various versions of windows and it is running
pretty good. When the computers start up, they have a
message saying that 'cannot find startup.BAT'. (because
it is called somehting else.BAT on the server). This
startup.BAT file was created by a person who worked
previously. My understanding is that it has been created
so that all the computers have the same background
amongst other things.

can that .BAT file also be editing all the computers
registry so that it is the same as the servers registry??

My question is how can i find out what this startup.BAT
file is doing? I want to learn how to create one myself.
i have located it on the server. and also how do i make
the other computers read that particular .BAT file?

..bat is DOS batch file ...in your situation it is probably running a logon
script

it is just a text file with a different extension , edit it in notepad and
check what each line is doing
