My memory is a bit fuzzy on this as I read about this awhile ago, but essentially when you run a logon script as you are, you are running it under the credentials of the user logging in. So if you are attempting to install some software, and the user logging in has only limited privileges, then the install will most likely fail. However, if you configure the script as a startup or shutdown script, then the script runs under the Local System account and has administrative privileges. So in your case, you'll probably want to run it as a startup or shutdown script. ~Ben
