I have the same problem as the original poster. However, using this script, "shell "%comspec% /c showpic1 \\con1\netlogon\kixsafety.bmp" I have managed to get SOME of my client computers to display our safety bmp. (XP, and 2K seem to work OK. However, some NT 4.0 boxes still have the problem.) I also tried to run shell "%comspec% /c showpic1 \\con1\netlogon\kixsafety.bmp"
sleep 5
shell "%comspec% /c kill -f showpic1.exe", but received an error saying unknown command "kill".

My problem is, none of the Win98 machines will display the bmp. What gives? I tried shelling out to a bat file calling the bmp, but that didn't work either. ("%comspec% /c \\con1\netlogon\kixsafety.bat.) In the bat file, I had "\\con1\netlogon\safety.bmp")

Any thoughts as to why this isn't working? Besides me being a terrible programmer?

My thanks to cj, member #677 for the scripts!

PS, we, my company, wants to display a safety message during the logon script, hence my inquiry
