[snip] Well... not that I've really ever used it for much, but NT/W2K does have a logon script parameter for users that is run when they log into an NT account. (That is, it runs bat/cmd file every time they log in.) See http://www.intrafoundation.com/ihtk.html. Especially CFX_Users (W2K) or CFX_UserManager (NT4). Look at the "console" example to see current settings for everyone. This an NT thing but ihtk (or any other account management software like it) will allow you to set the logonscript for ... everyone in batch all at the same time. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
