Thanks that is awesome not to mention works a lot better then having to use
a batch file as a work around.

Could you tell me what the LogonPrompt,1,%LogonPrompt%,2 means. I am just
curious about all the %'s and everything so if I ever need to create
something else I can do fairly easy.

Thanks

Norman
