Run batch file when TestStand launches

[CSPy]

I am dealing with a legacy test solution (TestStand 4.2.1) that I am trying to replicate in TestStand 19. The old system runs a batch file when TestStand is launched. I don't know how it's doing this, but I would like to replicate it in the new system. I have looked in all the places I can think to look (Windows and NI), but I'm missing something. Any idea how to find how this is done? Or how to replicate it in Windows 11? 

Thanks

You could add that to the login entry point to do something at launch i.e., at login.

You will have to modify - <TestStand>\Components\NI\Callbacks\FrontEnd\FrontEndCallbacks.seq

Thanks, Santhosh. This was the info I needed. I was able to add a 'call executable' step to the sequence. I put it before the login step and it seems to work the way I was expecting.
