Forgive me -- I've not checked recently (I'm usually trying to kill things that set up auto-run stuff)... Are there any equivalent registry entries in the /user/ hive rather than the system hive? (Appears to be since I found this in regedt32: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "ctfmon.exe"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ctfmon.exe" "AdobeBridge"="" "WMPNSCFG"="C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\WMPNSCFG.exe" "H/PC Connection Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft ActiveSync\\wcescomm.exe\"" ) Or can you plant a script into the userprofile startup directory? -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
