Instead of the copy and delete commands it is probably better 
to do the following:

echo off
if %winrun%="run" goto running
set winrun="run"
c:\windows\win
set winrun=""
goto exit
:running
echo Windows is running..
:exit

If the machine is turned off during the dos session, the file created 
by the first approach will stay, and windows will never run again...
