Hello,

I want to be able to open a IE window automatically displaying the corporate homepage using logon script. I have added the command Shell "c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" into the login script. This works OK but then the login script stalls after the IE window opens. Why is this, is there a way to fix it or is there a better way of doing this?

Use

code:
Run "c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Shell will hang the script until the shell command has completed, run will run the command in a separte process but keep the main script running.

Try this -
code:
 $ie=READVALUE('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\IEXPLORE.EXE','')
RUN $ie+' http://kixtart.org'
SLEEP 1

even simpler way would be:
run 'explorer "http://our.corporate.site.in"'
