Hey everyone.

Here is my problem, which only involves the NT family of OS's so any Win9x considerations can be ignored:

I have a simple login script that sets an environment variable required by an older DOS program that our company runs. Problem is that when a new user logs in for the FISRT time on a workstation these variables do not show up in the CMD environment. The second time they log in, and everytime thereafter they get the variable with no problem.

I am assuming this has something to do with their profile getting created that first time. I have used both SET and SETM neither of which resolve the issue, HOWEVER if you view the environment variables by looking at the properties of My Computer (vs. SET at cmd line) then those variable ARE listed, they just don't exist in the CMD environment yet. Not until the second login at least.

Hope the above makes sense.

Thanks for your help.
