wizard79 wizard79 Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-03-26 Posts: 64 Loc: Australia.	Hi all, I have a basic call "c:\.....iexplore.exe" command that opens up IE when users login to the network, however the netlogon script box stays until I close Internet Explorer. Is there a way to call it and let the netlogon script window disappear ie load iexplore into a new process - in linux you would use the "script.sh &" command to do this. Any ideas please? Cheers, Jon On second thoughts I could probably use shell in kix. I'll give it a try. Edited by mistajon (2004-11-18 12:32 AM)

Not that if you don't have any Windows 9x clients to support you don't need to use a batch file to launch KiXtart for NT/2000/XP/2003 clients, and you can perform any tasks your doing in the batch from within KiXtart.

That will allow iexplore.exe to run and not hold up the batch from continuing on. It sounds like the batch is waiting for the user to close IE. mole _________________________ mole Who is John Galt?
