Can't get Login Script to run before Desktop is loaded

 Can't get Login Script to run before Desktop is loaded

I am converting our login script from Kixtart32 to WSH.  Previously I had to
change a registry key to have the login script run before the desktop is
loaded.  This worked fine with Kix.  Now, however, my WSH script runs
simultaneously.  I was told to use cscript instead of wscript but this does
not appear to make a difference?  This phenomenon is true on both W2K and NT
4.0. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

 you've set the "RunLogonScriptSync" switch in the registry (I don't
remember the exact name)??

 It was just a thought. I found never the time to deal with policies...,
sorry.
