JJ,

Pretty obvious to me based on the registry key name.

Yeah, I thought so too.

But do you know in which order the "logon" scrips and the contents of the
"startup" folder is executed - and if that makes any difference in, for
example, being able to access the current users data ? And if maybe
something else happens inbetween ? I don't.

And thats apart from the question under who's credentials the "logon" &
"logoff" scripts are run. Would not be nice when the "logoff" scripts would
be run by a process with other/more permissions as the user the generated
data is ment for ...

But ... that all would be moot (in my current case) if the OS supports
running the contents of a "shutdown" folder in the same way as it supports
the "startup" folder. Any idea ?
