The way the script is called doesn't seem to make a difference. If I logon to a citrix server and CD to d:\environment\scripts and run kix32.exe without parameters, there's still a delay of two seconds before the syntax is shown. Copying kix32.exe to c:\ and starting from there doesn't make a difference. creating a kixtart.kix file with ? 'test' from the directory where kix32 is started runs the script but still with the delay.

NTFILEMON shows the following behaviour when kix32.exe is started:
- kix32 queries the following directories for information:
- the directory where kix32 is started (2x)
- c:\winnt\system32
- c:\winnt\system
- c:\winnt
- all directories in the PATH environment
- each query takes 70 - 80ms
- each query's result is SUCCESS
- each query returns Attributes: D or Attributes: DA

Starting KIX32 from my workstation (Windows XP) and debugging with ntfilemon shows completely different queries from the kix32.exe process. Can this be because of prefetching feature in WinXP ?

Is this a bug in kixtart 4.20 ? Does anybody experience the same problems ? Does anybody know a fix / workaround ?
