a bath script ?

The best thing to do is to just have the batch file create a flag file
(in a temp directory or somewhere) after performing the delete
operation. Then on any subsequent executions it should check for the
existence of the file; and if found, exit before attempting to do
anything.

I think the only way you could do it with a group policy setting would
be to create/import an ADM template that added a value to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce .
However, the key would keep getting added back every time the policy was
forcefully refreshed (i.e. using a gpupdate /force) so the script might
run multiple times.

A startup script with flag file would be your best option, in my
opinion, if running the script no more than once is absolutely critical
to what you are doing. The latter GP option would be a huge hassle and I
am not even sure if it would work all that well.

I need to delete a hidden file off every pc.  I have a batch file to
unhide and delete it, I just need to figureout how to have this run
once.  The only setting I could see was to run/not run the run once
commands.  I could not see where I could set them like the regular run
at startup commands.
