Re: .Popup method in logon script in Vista



Let the popup come up as per settings aka 'backward to win32'.

Rather control the time it may run, at the most - longest.

---------------

Responsiveness, that is response time to dialogs etc,
became a shamble on windows.

-----------------

Those spelling bees, national champs where spelling
and typing, who can do hundreds of characters a minute
will not put up with any OS, that directs key strockes to
nowhere. Or MS server permission and interpretation.

For instance. I am used to Ctrl+F for a Find box in any
windows application especially an editor.

Ther I expect to paste my expression from the clipboard.

But it takes unresonable time and creates havoc nowadays.

In DOS, the keyboard had not clicked and the dialog or
character was there. (tactile or 'blind' programming)

In win 3.0, it took an hour glass and a glimpse to the screen,
to make sure.

In win 4.0, it took time and was defeatable, that is you had to wait.

In win 5.0 (xp) 80% misses.

In vista, you probably can return to begging or making coffee erstwhile.

------------------------------------------

MS your campus may run 'classes' and be more profitable than Harvard.

Missing that class is a predicate not a procedure.

When .popup is called without the time-out (0 seconds), it is displaying
properly.
So .popup with with time-out of 4 seconds will not display, .popup with
time-out of 0 seconds (no time-out) will display. Beats me, although the
time-out is working ok for xp, it fails on Tablet pc's with xp (general AD
logon script time-out), and does not display on Vista. Looks like ms
scripting guru's have some dbugging to do...

OK, so this is in part a UAC issue. The admin account logon initiated script
is running fine (without display), but it ran with elevated privileges. After
logon, you cannot see the mappings, but a simple net use in an elevated cmd
box is showing them. Still want the popup method to work for Vista. Will try
turning off UAC (only for sake of testing)
