Registry/Run problem with .bat file.

I`m having some problems with an automatic application/updates installe
script.

I have 3 different bat files, the 1st one containing differen
applications to install without user interruption, works fine. And th
2nd bat file containing Service Pack 2 installation, unattended install
And finally the 3rd bat file installs different windows update files
also unattended. And they all works perfectly fine, exactly as i wan
them to do

Problem:
That i have to be there when the computer restarts after bat1 to star
bat2 and finally to start bat 3. (Ive written a script in the first ba
file that turns off the UAC prompt, and then when almost finished wit
the 3rd one turns it on again).

Solution (I tought):
Would be to write to the registry run command and then when its don
delete the entries in registry. And that works fine.
Code (example):
-set var=%~dp0
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ru
/v Testauto /t REG_SZ /d %var%BAT2.bat
shutdown /r /f /t 05-

Why i have "-set var=%~dp0-" is because its stored on a usb stick, an
that it will be given different drive paths on different computers.

Register entry:
Data name:Testauto Datavalue: G:\BAT2.bat
And everything looks good, exactly as i want.

Unsolved problem:
When my computer restarts it starts the BAT2.bat with all the command
ive given it.
But it doesnt run from the G:\BAT2.bat> *all commands*. It starts th
commands from C:\windows\system32 >BAT2.bat>*all commands*. Why???
If i for example open the run box, and type:G:\BAT2.bat it starts a
its supposed to.
Its like when it starts from the run in registry, its just call the ba
file from cmd.exe.
And in registry it all looks as its supposed to.

Please tell me someone has a solution for this problem, because i
starts to drive me crazy. (Sorry for my bad english im from Sweden).

Very very much thanks in advance.

1. The original post is posted to only one newsgroup, namely
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general. Look at the headers.

2. What's wrong with cross-posting? It's done all the time when two or
three groups are appropriate to the subject, although posting to more
newsgroups than that is often deprecated.

3. Many newsreaders let you suppress posts that are cross-posted to more
than n groups, where n is your choice. Maybe you should think of getting
one of those so you could read newsgroups in situ instead of via vBulletin
USENET gateway (whatever that might be, it seems not to be a real
newsreader). Then you'd be in charge of your own experience, and you
wouldn't have to give orders to strangers.

Be honest, did you lift this code from somewhere and tried to modify it?

The error is glaringly obvious.
