I have Windows NT 4.0 computers in a Novell and Windows NT 4.0 Domain. I have mutiple users at each workstation. They are required to log out after their shifts. Each workstations have a common name with no password for the NT logg on screen. The problem is that when doing a log off the shortcuts in the startup group folder does not always run. I have located the shortcuts in the All Users startup folder. To get them to run I have to reboot the PC. Is there any way around this where the shortcuts would run in the startup folders regardless if they did a soft reboot or just loging off and back on?

I suppose you could put the commands into a logon script and go about it that way.

Hi,
The shortcuts in the 'Startup Folder' are run only when the machine boots up and not when a user logs off and logs in again.

To acheive this you will need to create login scripts and assign them to each user, so that whenever they login (even when the other user has only logged off and not rebooted the machine), these scripts will run.

Login/Logoff scripts are your answer.
