| Folder Redirection and Software Installation Policies
| Note that when Fast Logon Optimization is on, a user might need to log on
| to a computer twice before folder redirection policies and software
| installation policies are applied. This occurs because the application of
| these types of policies requires the synchronous policy application.
| During a policy refresh (which is asynchronous), the system sets a flag
| indicating that the application of folder redirection or a software
| installation policy is required. The flag forces synchronous application
| of the policy at the user's next logon.
| [...]
| In addition, software installation and folder redirection processing
| occurs only during computer startup or user logon. This is because
| background processing could cause undesirable results.
Starts the software application shortly after login, so that it seems
to be in the background?
