 Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. I have a logon script, thanks to everyone's help who helped out, that now successfully launches a modal window (with no surrounding frame) and it works on all of the required machines (I believe). But I am stuck once again :( When I run the batch file, all is well, but the batch file stays open until the
VBScript is done executing and the user clicks on the CLOSE button I have added
to the script. Now, how can I either minimize this cmd prompt or get rid of it
altogether immediately after it starts the script?
Thanks again!

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. launch it from the script with the "start" command. start myscript.vbs
That should let your batch file go on its merry way.

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. You mean the batch file window never closes? Are you using this as the network logon script for the users? --

The batch file window closes, but the script launches an instance of Internet Explorer. This window should pause the system from continuing to load windows until it is closes (either programatically or F4). Is it possible? Remember, this script is launched from the batch file using the START command. Thanks again,

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. Ah - no, not since it is launched asynchronously. It would be doable on Win2K clients, but... <g> Here's a weird workaround idea.
(1) Switch back to NOT using START.
(2) As the VBScript runs, make its first step be to instantiate the
AutoItX control. You can then tell it to hide the batch file window.
(3) While the base logon script is executing, everything else will
normally be kept from showing up; when it finishes, the batch file
closes, and the explorer shell should pop up.

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. "...a modal window (with no surrounding frame)..." Side note: If you are using an IE automation object set to fullscreen and then resized to something smaller, there have been posts that claim that IE6 sp1 removes the ability to do that... I haven't install sp1 yet, so I can't confirm or deny the claim...

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. Ok, everything is working ok now, but when I run it on a Windows 98 platform, the MSDos Window does not close. It stays up saying "Finished." Could I be able to close it using WSH? Thanks,

Logon Script - Launched from BATCH file. The batch file has a line that echoes "finished" it sounds like? Make sure that the VERY last line of the batch file is CLS - no return
after that. In Win9x, a console window will go away when it has nothing
left to display.

Hi I have tested this now. The claim is correct. Our AD login screen (IE based) is now running in fullscreen when I upgrade IE to IE 6 SP1 :(

Tested and proven, IE 6 on XP fully patched prevents this from
happening....thought it was supposed to be backwards compatible?
