Would you consider posting your successful script? I need to do something similar but am not as experinced at this code so I cannot just "figure it out" from the hints in this posting so far. What I need is to be able to spawn off a process that I do not want to start running until 5 minutes after the logon has completed. BUT I need it to use the variables from the logon script as you stated in your posting. Any clues would be helpful. Thanks
