I want to create a login script to have winpopup to automatcially open and minimize...I have this alreayd figured...but now I thought, I don't want the user to open it and start chatting with everyone on the network when they should be working..so my question is how do I make the winpopup.exe a application to become a service instead and then it will be minimized in the taskbar where the clock is or can I have it run in the background without the user knowing?? Need help. thanks in advance.

1.in the resourcekit of winnt there is a program which does that.
2. on the cd of w2k (pro and advanced) there is also a software, i forgot the name but it is in the util folder.
3. I am not sure if you can use the msconfig to do that, msconfig displays the program that are running when you startup your pc, I do not know if you can add to it.

I am not sure if even you it as a service that it wont be visible to them so they wont use it.
If these suggestion do not work, put a note on the question why you need the winpop (to send urgent messages to the users ? There may be other solutions.

regards,
