Kathy,
You're on the right track... just maybe going in the wrong direction. The issue is likely that the desktop has not yet been set whilst still in the logon. This is a well known issue with Wintendos. In fact, I have an FAQ on it.

Topic: Sequence of events during logon

Pay attention to the bit about RunOnce and then search for that on the board.

Yeah Jens, you said it first... but sometimes it take more than one person to say it. [Wink]
