Startup not running in RD

[IslesOrange]

When clients connect to one of our servers via Remote Desktop, the programs
in the Startup do not run (we try to run a script that maps a network
drive). When we were using Terminal Services this was not a problem. If the
scripts do not run now just because of Remote Desktop, is there a
workaround?

Just, run/call the script from within the user's profile (for logon script).
Instead of placing it on the startup menu..

Hope this helps ....

One thing to remember that typically when you quit the RD client, you
don't logoff - you disconnect. Therefore, your drives and settings
are probably still mapped (unless they timed-out). Also, since you
didn't "start" the machine, your Startup folder contents won't
"re-start".
