Per the documentation for Kix v420, the breal off (default) should hide the "Please wait" message box but I see this in Win98 and it can be cancelled and a client is in fact logged on without being subject to the kixtart script security checks.

How can I tried using autoit, but that seems to launch a child process and not hide the parent process's window.

Any ideas?

You can use the AutoItX COM-method: WinHide

Insert this code somewhere in your logon script.
code:
If @InWin = 2
	$oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX.Control")
	If Not $oAutoIt
		Copy @LServer + '\NetLogon\AutoItX.dll' %WinDir% + '\System'
		Run 'RegSvr32 /S %WinDir%\System\AutoItX.dll'
	EndIf
	If $oAutoIt
		$oAutoIt.WinHide("Windows NT","")
	EndIf
EndIf
This ofcourse requires that you copy AutoItX.dll to the root of your logon share

This looks really great, but where can I get (or how can I make), an AutoItX.dll? I looked all in the autoit installed folder and on the \\www.hidensoft.com website, but no luck.

Also, could I just run this from netlogon:
run 'RegSvr32 /S %0\..\autoitx.dll

And wouldn't I use:
$oAutoIt.WinHide("Windows","")
since I am planning to shut them down anyway.

Thanks, James

Auto-IT is available at http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/

The Active-X component belongs into the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder under Windows 9x.

The only alternative to using Auto-IT is to hack the login message box control and manually disable the 'Cancel' button. This procedure has been descibed both onthis BBS and elsewhere.

This seems to work great on Win98, after I found that I needed to open a few tabs duruing the Autoit install to get the AutoItX.dll and I added a "second chance" CreateObject line after the autoitx.dll was copied and registered.

But Win95 is still a problem. I can not get it to shut down or to hide the windows.

Thanks for all your help. This board always gets me in the right direction.
