Hello,

I am using XP SP2 clients connected to Neware 6.5 servers.

I work for a school corporation and a couple of the students are
visually impared and have a hard time seeing their mouse pointer. I
was givin specific cursor files for those students to use. I added
to the students logon script so that if those specific students log
in, the cursor file is copied to "C:\Windows\Cursors" and their
HKCurrentUser registry is edited to make them use that cursor.

The problem is that even with those changes made, it doesn't actually
change their mouse pointer the first time they log in. They have to
log in, then log off, then login again, then it changes their pointer.

I believe the reason is because the login script doesn't run until
their desktop is already created. Is there something I could add to
the login script that would be similar to clicking the apply button
after chaning your mouse pointer?

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Robert

Not sure how this will work since you're not using a Windows domain, but the
issue might be resolvable via "Always wait for network" in group policy.
It's a PITA to manage policies without active directory, but you could do
this on each computer:

Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Logon.
Double-click Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon and
Enable this policy.
