Logon scripts stay minimized in XP Pro

[Matt]

Hi Guys,

I have an XP client on our NT domain and am testing it before we roll it out. One of the (very many) issues I have come up against is that our user logon scripts stay minimized on the user's desktop. The script requires user input to questions and so the user is never forced to answer the question.

I have used local group policy to set the 'run logon scripts visible' option to 'Enabled' but all this does is stop it from being hidden and puts it minimized on the task bar. It does not show the command window!

:(

I know I could just Enable the Group policy option for 'Run logon scripts synchronously' but this is unfeasible as the logon scripts prompts the user to see if they want to backup their data and this can take up to an hour sometimes. I'd rather it be running in the background (this option waits for the comand window to close before loading the desktop).

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers guys.

Matt

Just insert START /MAX in front of the script file.
