How can remove redundant NET USE commands from the startup script
I am volunteering at a charity that has a small network on XP. When the PCs
start up they execute the cmd.exe and do redundant NET USE commands trying to map to drives on a server that was removed some months ago. Is there a way to edit the startup to remove these redundant statements. Which file is it, where is it located and how can I safely edit it. Any help gratefully received. |

Depends on how they were setup. In the Startup folder? RUN registry entry? Is this a domain? Are the scripts unique to each user? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

How can remove redundant NET USE commands from the startup scr
Thanks Shenan. I will have to get back to you in a couple of days as not
there again until Friday. I thought that the script I saw executing was before the boot up had reached the point of presenting the logon screen, but I could be mistaken. About 10 computers are joined together in a network. I have only just started there and will try and find out more information about how it is all configured.
