Hello, I did a search in thethin archives on the keyword "loadwc.exe" and found someinteresting info. I have removed loadwc.exe and turned off the protected storage, but I'm holding back on deleting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\active setup\Installed components key. There is so much info in this key, I really don't know if I will FUBAR my oneserver. P.J. Johannsen wrote: Getting rid of the message "Applying your personal settings" doesn't increasethe login time. Getting rid of it can actually cause a few more problems because users don't recognize anything happening after double clicking the icon. Odds are, they will try several times waiting for something to happen. This can open up several app instances. We had to put itback because of this. I don't remember how I got rid of it, I think it was an AD setting, but I am sure someone on this list will know. Just be preparedfor the user effect.

Hopefully so that I can speed-up the logons for users. I am finding that logons on Win 2k are longer than on Win NT 4.0 TSE. This is a topic that is in the list archives. I have done the following and all have helped a bit but not as much as getting rid of that logon screen. Things tried: 1. deleted the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\active setup, Installed components key 2. Made the clients printer, default printer only. 3. played with the LOADWC.EXE file. Thanks for any advise, G. *********************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: 99point9.com The 99Point9.com Online Tech Support Helpdesk is the one-stop solution for all your server-based computing needs. http://www.99point9.com[5] ************************************************ For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm[6] _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helpseliminate e-mail viruses.
