Hi LHT - Thanks for your fast reply, much appreciated. I've just tried out your suggestion and it looks like a possibility - I'm not sure about the fact that it will only happen for a new session - I'll do some checking and also see if there are any other suggestions. Thanks again.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I want to automatically run a vb script to launch an application when a remote desktop connection is initiated.<br />
<br />
I've tried using the &quot;Program&quot; tab, clicking the &quot;start program&quot; box and specifying &quot;C:\Users Shared Folders\Office\launch.vbs&quot;<wbr /> in the &quot;program path&quot; and &nbsp;C:\Users Shared Folders\Office as the &quot;start in&quot; folder.<br />
<br />
The RDC connection is started but the script execution fails with &quot;error(193) the initial program cannot be started&quot;<br />
<br />
I've tried doing this in 2 separate steps: making the RDC, then executing the script from a remote desktop shortcut and it works OK.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help please?
