Howdie! A "trick" I used in the past is scripting the execution and creating a file on some file system place that I can check for every other script execution following. You basically use (not tested): IF EXIST %windir%\ms-efs.txt GOTO end start /w \\server\share\executable.ext echo "1" >> %windir%\ms-efs.txt :end You could also have a look the RunOnce key in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137367/en-us cheers, Florian *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
