(not because we roam much, but for backup, recovery and control purposes).



1. Don't see how having a roaming profile helps do a backup or recovery (unless you mean the files stored in the profile but that to me actually works semi against backups by being maybe a bit too fluid or a roaming profile failure to save)
Don't see how that gives you control either.

Supporting profiles on Windows 9x is kludgey at best. Is slow as heck and often time problematic.
Redirecting the My Documents folder to a network share and lettting users know not to save data locally on the system would be better (imho) Oh well, what can I say. I'm a roaming profile hating kinda guy - just plain dislike that technology. I hate the few seconds it takes to load local settings let alone network copied data.

There is no PAUSE in KiXtart unless you mean SLEEP which I use quite often. I use WKIX32.EXE and hide everything, which you can't do on Windows 9x as it has to launch from a batch file and NT does not.

There are methods to force single logon, you can search the board here or on Google and you should be able to find tools/methods to do such.
