I will try that and some other stuff. If I go to a client machine and just run the script it works....Just windows XP seems not to run the script each time when Its with group policy, server problem? If I login in to a client the script will NOT work, I logout and try it again and it will work...then it will work on that machine all day, but a few days later I will login to the same machine and it will not work...so I think the script is correct...I can post the script if needed, group policy setting work fine except the login script .. User configiration-windows settings-scripts-logon. Is there a way to change it so windows XP does not keep a foler for every person that logs on to that machine wil that help? adam
