Running KiXtart with Lmscript Emulation
Normally, when a user logs on to a LAN Manager or Windows NT domain from Windows 9x, the Windows API responsible for processing the logon request starts a program called Lmscript to run the logon script. The sole responsibility of Lmscript is to inform the logon API when the logon script has finished by creating a semaphore file (also called a cookie).

Unfortunately, the original Lmscript.exe takes up a lot of memory. To solve this issue, KiXtart can be used as a replacement for Lmscript.exe. This not only saves memory, but also means that the Kix32.exe does not have to be read from the network during the logon sequence, as it is automtically run from the local hard disk. The benefit of this is minimal in a normal LAN environment, but can be substantial in a WAN or RAS environment.
To enable Lmscript emulation on computers running Windows 9x
1. In the Windows\System folder, rename the original Lmscript.exe.
2. Rename Kix32.exe to Lmscript.exe and then copy it to the Windows\System folder.
3. In User Manager, in the Logon Script Name box, specify a KiXtart script as the logon script for the user (for example, Kixtart).
4. At the end of the specified KiX script, add a line containing the COOKIE1 command to create the semaphore file.
