The syntax for using IsProfileTemp.bat is:

[call] IsProfileTemp YorN

Where YorN is a call directed environment variable that will contain a Y if the current user's profile is temporary, or an N if it is not temporary.

IsProfileTemp.bat contains:

@echo off
if {%1}=={} @echo Syntax: IsProfileTemp YorN&goto :EOF
setlocal
set YorN=Y
call GetUserSID SID
if "%SID%" EQU "NONE" goto finish
set key="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\%SID%"
set /a State=0x800
for /f "Tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query %key% /V State^|find "REG_DWORD"') do (
 set /a State=%%b
)
set /a ans="%state%&0x800"
if %ans% NEQ 2048 set YorN=N
:finish
endlocal&set %1=%YorN%
