Sean Sean Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-05-06 Posts: 10	If I close any Kixtart script by clicking on the "X", Kixtart will cause a restart (not reboot) of the PC. This seems to happen on any of the three PC's tested (3 IT people). Using Kixtart 4.22, any ideas?

Sean Sean Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-05-06 Posts: 10	Quote: restart? now you are lying, it only causes logoff. Bit rough there? I was mistaken, it did a logoff, not a restart (though I did say it did not reboot). You both are correct there, it was the "Break On" issue, which I have added and it now works great. I have looked at the manual for the main diffrences between "wkix32.exe" and "kix32.exe" but don't have a clear cut answers. From what I have figured out: WKix32 is the "windows version" or "Console-less" Wkix32 disables the "X" (from post previous to this) It runs asynchronous which means it will not pause for you and you must use "start" commands to make sure it pauses. I am currently using just "Kix32.exe" and it seems to be working fine for me. Is there any reason to use the "WKix32" version?

You can still show the user Messagebox or run other things if you need the user to see, otherwise you can run something like WKIX32.EXE LOGON.KIX Without running a batch file (NT/2000/XP/2003) ONLY! Windows 9x must run a batch file. As an example I now run a lot of WMI scripting in my logon script which can take anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes depending on the clients cpu speed and disk i/o speed. However no one sees or knows the script is running and they can continue to run other applications while my script is still running. If I were using KIX32.EXE the user would be seeing that logon box the entire time.

Windows 9x must run a batch file. it has been my experience that you don't "have" to run a batch file for win9x. Simple call your logon script "kixtart.kix" and run "kix32.exe" for the logon script. The kix executable, will find and run kixtart.kix all on it's own. You could even go so far as to rename kix32.exe (or wkix32.exe) to logon.exe if you wanted to.... Bryce

Wintendos have to be held back by Start /Wait for WKiX or they error out. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Bryce Bryce KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-02-29 Posts: 3167 Loc: Houston TX	ok, i don't run wkix32, and was making an assumption. what type of error do you get? I am guessing it is some how related to the z: going poof once wkix32 starts?
