Would it be possible to start MYOB out of a BAT/CMD file, eg

REM start myob (you gotta use this method or it wouldnt return)
start MYOB

REM wait till its up
sleep 10

REM now change the mode as this user back to "0777"
REM there are POSIX tools available on the NT reskit
chmod 0777 *.lck



You could try ...
