Very clever. Awesome! Thanks!

So in my batch file I can override the various default environment settings 
that were set by the IDEAS.wsf file?

Mark,

To run a .bat or .cmd file just prior to I-DEAS startup, you can modify the 
I-DEAS starup icon.
Right click on the I-DEAS startup icon, select the Shortcut tab, and edit the 
"Target" field to run your file instead of the standard ideas.exe.

I replaced the following default text:
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe /nologo "C:\UGS\NXI5\bin\IDEAS.wsf"
/prg:"C:\UGS\NXI5\ideas\ideas.exe"

with my own text:
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe /nologo "C:\UGS\NXI5\bin\IDEAS.wsf"
/prg:"M:\ideas\windows\batch\start_NXI5_ideas.bat"

Then execute the regular ideas.exe end of your .bat file.
  REM: Start I-DEAS.
  C:\UGS\NXI5\ideas\ideas.exe

I wrote a short .bat file to do some simple tasks prior to I-DEAS startup, for 
our site.
