maximise login script window on execution

P

paul cannon

Hi

I have several laptop users who upon logon to our Windows
2000 Server copy their Outlook Pst file up to the network
as a backup.

With later versions of Windows (2000 pro & xp pro) when
the script is run (in a Dos window) it is minimised at the
bottom of the screen, I would like to run this in a window
and not Full screen or minimised is there a switch or
setting that allows this ??

The login script will run an xcopy command with a /p
switch to prompt y\n for the copy to take place, hence the
window needing to be viewable at 1st instance

any help gratefully appreciated - thanks

Paul

I would place the Xcopy in its own seperate batch file and in the main script,
issue a start command:

start "Copy PST" /wait Xcopy ... ....
