Ok - the problem is actually not regarding the quotations after all..

It seems more like this is the result of a problem caused by this being the (excuse the caps) FIRST TIME THIS USER LOGS ON.

In other words, KixTart starts up, runs the logon scripts, THEN Windows shows the "Setting up personalized settings.. " eventually progressing to Media Player, and (gulp) IE.

So, is there any way to circumvent this that you guys can think of?
