What service? That should never happen; Windows is supposed to wait long enough automatically before letting anyone log in. I do not know of any way to force a wait before login. But you could use the RunOnce registry key to insert a delay before most of the session starts up. That might be enough to fix your problem... For a sample Perl script which manipulates the RunOnce key, see <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/apps.html#todo>. (In particular, see the run_at_logon function). - Pat _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
