| I installed Microsoft AntiSpyware on 2 Windows 2003 Terminal Servers per the
| suggestion of a Microsoft Engineer. When a user logs in, it is asking them
| if it should block .bat files which happens to be their login script. The
| user is answering YES which causes their drives not to map. I see there are
| many configuration options but how can I configure the software not to block
| these types of files?
