I'd like to start a batch file when I log on with a specific account. The problem is, that specific account doesn't have the right to copy to the Startup folder, or install anything on the machine (Windows 7). How can I achieve this?
If you don't have those rights then you can use Task Scheduler. Open start and start to type "task" and you'll see that program. Open it and click "Create Basic Task". Type the name and a desciption. Click next and choose "When I log on". Click next and choose "Start a program". After that, browse your batch file location and add the arguments if necessary.

I was wondering how I could see the actions that are done on my computer but on my cmd prompt.
For example: Imagine I click on the shortcut Google Chrome on my desktop, then this will appear on my cmd prompt (or anywhere else):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe
modulo the - and -- arguments but that was just for the example.
Thanks!
Try Process Monitor (also called ProcMon), filtered on ProcessCreate. It'll list every process that gets created, along with the arguments and lots of other useful information.

Normally is when a file named with your username is created. You need just to delete it and it'll be ok. It is located in your Users folder. Follow one of these links if you don't find its location: first link and second link.

All my .bat files are opening automatically in notepad. Anyone know what kind of file I need to associate it? I tried to associate to "Windows command processor", but it only opened the "command-prompt", and didn't execute it.
Try removing the .bat file association in the registry. See this link for more details.
You should just be able to remove the "UserChoice" sub-folder.

some program (sort of malware) is running on my windows 7 at startup, but my startup folder is empty (even after removing the hidden and system attrib of all the programs in the folder). But msconfig shows the script that was running.
This means that programs can run on startup without actually being in the startup folder.
Please help me by explaining, how these softwares do this, or any concept of startup that i am missing?
Thanks in advance.
From here:
Add a new startup application
Open your registry and find the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run].
For each program you want to start automatically create a new string value using a descriptive name, and set the value of the string to the program executable.
For example, to automatically start Notepad, add a new entry of "Notepad"="c:\windows\notepad.exe".
Goto MSCONFIG and Remove the check mark for that particular App. then you are good go

I'm using gnome-shell with Ubuntu 11.10. At the left edge there is menu with icons. Where can I edit the command that is launched after clicking them? For example, there is gvim icon and I want it to start with -geometry flag. I assume it is in some config file, but where?
To add startup arguments you have to modify the Exec parameter of the .desktop file. The gvim.desktop file is in
/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop
Add the arguments you need to the line.
Exec=gvim -f %F
This will affect all users on your system. If you want a custom launcher file you can create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.
