Are we talking about user environment variables or system environment variables?
-----Original Message----- From: Dean Theophilou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 6:08 PM To: Perl_beginner (E-mail); Perl-Win32-Admin@ActiveState. com Subject: Perplexed Hello: I created a Perl logon script for use on an NT TSE machine which sets environment variables and maps drives. It runs as expected when it's run from the path specified in User Manager for Domains->Profile->Logon Script Name. Since I don't want the user to be able to see it when he logs on, I use runh.exe with the script. Unfortunately, when I use runh.exe, the user's program, which launches at startup, can't find the drive that the logon script is supposed to map. I've also noticed this kind of behavior when calling the logon script from Usrlogon.cmd. I'm using both $ENV as well as Win32::AdminMisc to set the environment variables. It seems to me that the environment variables and drive mappings don't take effect fast enough (if at all) before the startup program launches. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is and if there is a work around? Thanks.
