Hi Experts<br />
I want internet explorer to start when all users login.<br />
Using windows server 2003, AD, DCs, Group policy etc. desktops are XP Pro.<br />
<br />
I thought that by adding 'start iexplore' to the bat file indicated as the windows logon file in Group Policy that this would do the trick. &nbsp;If I then login as a user it does indeed do the trick - for a fleeting moment. &nbsp;IE starts but then immediately shuts down. &nbsp;Using such a command in a bat file local to the machine starts IE up fine (and it stays up). &nbsp;Any thoughts on what is happening here, and how best to achive the startup of IE after login would be very much appreciated. Thanks
