Hi, i have a few computers (win 98 and 95) that are networked in a workgroup
network. When the computers start up, they read a bat file from the server
that deletes temp files, directories etc.

I managed to get the 98 computers reading the BAT file at stratup via the
("C:/WINDOWS\ALL USERS\PROGRAMS\START MENU\START UP" ) directory.

But i cannot get the 95 machines to read the bat file, as this particular
directory does not exist. The 95 machines can definately read off the srever
as i othe folders on the desktop that connect to the server.

Where do i make a shortcut on the 95 machines to make that BAT file run on
startup?

regards

If your message is relevant to several newsgroups you should post one
message to several groups rather than a separate message to each group.
That way, all replies appear in both places.
