batch file to run prior to logon (vista home premium)

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to run a batch file prior to windows logon vista
home premium.
I have a few problems with my motherboard and my cmos battery is unsoldered
and my battery is knackered. At present I have a batch file to set date and
time in my startup folder but would like to do it before this as programs
are loading and trying to initialise before the correct date and time set,
this causes errors.
Many thanks

Hi,
Yes I've tried that as well(somewhere in the registry I did it) but still
get all programs loading at the same time.Don't want to delay any programs
either as its a slow boot time as it is
.. Really need it prior to the login even after bios screen before windows
loads.Just not sure how to do this.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

My apologies. It is a more complicated question.

I looked into autoexec.bat, the registry key RunServices etc. etc and tried
things out. Nothing has run yet.

This is what bugs me about the Home editions .. they are sort of crippleware
... and why I don't usually run them myself, always looking to get a
Professional / Ultimate / or Business version. I did the pre-order thing for
Windows 7 and got Professional at half price.
