I need to be able to have the feature winpopup.exe execute at login and minimize in the toolbar, so users are able to receive server messages when problems occur with the internet or email system. Does anyone know how or where I can find info on creating login scripts to do the above on win95 and win98 machines? Thanks so much

I don't know about scripts, but you can always put a shortcut to Winpopup in your Startup menu. Or, you can put it in your Run menu in your registry. That's kinda gutsy, though.

I don't know about minimizing, but at least it will start up.

I thought the same thing in the startup or in the run folder in the registry, but we have over 900 PC's and a login script would be so much easier to run to do this operation, instead of manually on each PC.

Find the exe file that is winpopup (say winpop.exe as I'm not sure)
Then in the login script just add the following line:

#winpop.exe

This should then run the external command when users logon
