put it in the logon script.
For the logon script to work on win9x machines you have to make sure that they log on to a domain to validate their password otherwise its not going to work.
You can set a win9x machine to logon to domain controller forpassword validation in the network control panel under properties of client for microsoft networks.

The logon script is easy to use, you can also check if it is already in place (every computer won't be connected the first day, you will have to let the modifications you made to the users scripts several days until every computer logged).

If youdon't want to copy the script everywhere on your LAN, you can perhaps simply add a line in the logon script which launches the batch you want to propagate. Than, when they connect, the modification is directly done without copy through the network.
It' up to you. For more infos contact me directly at romaina@adb.be
