Oh I just chased back through this thread... You want to fire up IE, I didn't catch that before, I didn't look that close at the specific process you wanted fire, just that you wanted to fire a process. You should still be able to do this with a startup script with AT as long as you specify

That's a good point about plonking stuff in AD a case of once a good thing comes along everyone wants to climb aboard. I remember doing ZENworks stuff with Novell where all the application configuration information for software distribution was shunted into NDS/E-Directory... all that

This should be a piece of cake to do with a .net app. It's got an easy option to hide from the taskbar, so you don't have to call the Win32 API to do that (not that its hard...), it has a couple of timer classes, and it has a Process class you can use to kick off a process. Sounds like a
