The reg would work but I only need the software loaded on certain machines. It is an app to protect the machine from changes being made. I looked into the readprofilestring command. I currently use writeprofilestring in mt login script. I am still uncertain as to how I should use readprofilestring to look for a certain line of text in the file. I will use @WKSTA to compare to the list. I just don't know how to make the script look through the entire file. Thanks for the help on this.
