About the printers, I thought maybe you were doing the same as for the drives:

Sorry if I was wrong presuming this.
And indeed, as Jooel says, why show something to the users? I would silence the logon.
As far as I noticed in my profession, all redundant information that users get, can be misunderstood.
[Edit]
Did you know Jooel has written an UDF that speeds up the mapping of printers if the work was done during previous logon: PriMapState?

Jooel & witto,

The truth is, that showing the useres that somthing is working saves me headaches. Since the users [as Jooel said] dont have a slightest bit, they call me when they see that nothing happen and they can't use the comp. That way they see that something is running and they know they have to wait. If it was up to me i wouldn't show them anything, but since we are talking about useres that hardly knows how to turn on the comp, i rather use this method.

BTW - thenx richard, it works perfectly.

And to the rest of you guys [witto, jooel and i'm sorry if i forgot anyone else], you guys are doing great job, i have never seen in any other forum, on the web such a great help and great solutions in no time. Keep up the good job
