(not because we roam much, but for backup, recovery and control purposes).
1. Don't see how having a roaming profile helps do a backup or recovery (unless you mean the files stored in the profile but that to me actually works semi against backups by being maybe a bit too fluid or a roaming profile failure to save)
Don't see how that gives you control either.
Supporting profiles on Windows 9x is kludgey at best. Is slow as heck and often time problematic.
Redirecting the My Documents folder to a network share and lettting users know not to save data locally on the system would be better (imho) Oh well, what can I say. I'm a roaming profile hating kinda guy - just plain dislike that technology. I hate the few seconds it takes to load local settings let alone network copied data.
There is no PAUSE in KiXtart unless you mean SLEEP which I use quite often. I use WKIX32.EXE and hide everything, which you can't do on Windows 9x as it has to launch from a batch file and NT does not.
There are methods to force single logon, you can search the board here or on Google and you should be able to find tools/methods to do such.

"... there is no exact match, any application whose title string begins with title is activated....:
On a few occasion this feature has been troublesome. I would like to see it do a exact match by default, and then add a wildcard ability for if you need to do partial string matches.
A useability suggestion, and definitly a high priority one!!!!

The abilty to support [out] variables in COM objects, variables that are created by the COM object itself, and passed "out" of the method call. This would be usefull for some devious sneaky WMI calls. I think these [out] variables are subtely different that your std byref type.
Here's my vote for that.

As a suggestion I would like to see @ADDRESS independent from the Netbios interface.

I'm going to resurrect a request for an On-Error process or more detailed (if possible) error information.
Specific case in point that I experience regularly:
- Tokenized scripts, about 12K in size with about 35-40 UDFs.
- Runs properly on tens of thousands of computers daily (about 90K computers, 80% Windows Workstations run this command).
- ONE agent on ONE day throws a "Missing ')'" or "missing argument" error on a line that isn't bad and is in a block that runs every day, not only under an odd condition. Some computers will throw this error repeatedly for a brief time, but it rarely lasts for more than a few days, making troubleshooting or even identification of the conditions difficult.
Several of these events will occur when you run a complex tokenized script with a different (newer) version of Kix32, so we specifically rename Kix32.exe and use a bat file (or internal code) to specifically invoke our renamed copy, which should eliminate that condition.
If an error handler is created, I would be able to dump vars from Main() and globals, and ideally - call a built-in Kix function to dump the var data from a function that was active when the error fired even if I had to add extra logic to my functions. An @ERRLINE and @ERRFUNC macro would be helpful.
Could this result in sloppy code? Possibly, but would there be any more than we already see?
Also - noticed the SKix32.exe Kix as a service request in the original post.. Um yeah! I have close to 30 scripts that run as system services via NSSM.EXE (used to use SrvAny).
