Bryce, I have tested the login script on windows 98 and it doesn't input the config file in the registry. It only places the login_script key and its associating subkeys but there are no values. This also happens on a windows 2000 that has administrative priviledge(oddly, it only works on my test machine, if I deleted the entry in HKLM\software\logon_script\ would that make the script not run on my machine also?)... It seem to only work on HKLM. I have placed the $configfile for win98 back to HKLM and the script works. Any clues to where it can be universal on all Flavors?
