I achieved much the same thing by putting a wget script in the Auto-startup folder of Windows. Then I copy in this vmware windows virtual machine and start it. Then Windows itself downloads winetest and upon completion, does a shutdown -h now. (Via cygwin.) I often find cygwin a relief when working with Windows. Just FYI. regards, Jakob
