Hi

If I run gpedit.msc on a Windows XP computer, I find that setting.

Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Feature
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;305293

Scripts May Not Run Before Windows Explorer Starts Even Though
the "Run Logon Scripts Synchronously" Setting is Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;304970

By registry edit; Set the value SyncForegroundPolicy to 1 (REG_DWORD) in
this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

With a VBScript:

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sRegValue = "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\" _
            & "CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SyncForegroundPolicy"

oShell.RegWrite sRegValue, 1, "REG_DWORD"

MsgBox "Please reboot the computer"
