Each user has a Startup folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. This folder contains shortcuts to programs that run when a specific user logs on. However, adding a shortcut to the Windows Update Web site Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to the user's Startup folder will not cause updates to be applied each time the user starts the computer.
Shortcuts to programs that should start when any user logs on should be added to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. However, adding a shortcut to the Windows Update Web site's URL to the All Users Startup folder will not cause updates to be applied each time the user starts the computer.
You should not create a batch file that checks the Windows Update Web page and add the batch file to Scheduled Tasks. However, you can configure Automatic Updates to run on a schedule by using the System Control Panel utility.
