I use ZoneAlarm Pro and the automatic lock. Sometimes the IP will not
refresh. I am trying to use a batch file thorough an icon on the Desktop so
unexperienced users can just click. I made a Notepad file with ipconfig
/renew and named it ipconfig.bat and made a Shortcut on the Desktop. My wifes
computer with XP Pro logged on as Admin works fine. I have three others which
two are XP Pro and one XP Home all running limited accounts and it starts
gong into an endless loop in the CMD window it opens until I use Ctrl C to
terminate it. Is there a command I can put in the batch file to make it run
once?

Thanks for any advice.
 
Hi
Store the batch file that you made in a general Dirctory (I make a directory
call NetWin and I put there copies of network related files so that they can
be used by any user). Make individual Shotcut on each users desktop.

Try naming the file something other than 'ipconfig.bat.' Renew.bat would be
good.
