Hi All,

I'm using a machine that has XPe on it and I want to use it as a terminal. I'm using minlogon to reduce bootup time and get around the problem of custom shells not auto restarting with the 'fat' winlogon. I've tried setting the shell to
Code:
mstsc.exe c:\rdp.rdp
This works and the shell will restart fine but on the very first load of the shell, it won't connect to the terminal server. I think this is down to the shell launching before the NIC is ready so i set about making a batch file to slow it all down.
My batch file will take about 1-15 seconds to get up to 100% and will then call another batch file to load the same file as the code above.
The problem is that I have had to put a PAUSE in the batch file else it keeps spawning new terminals until the machine crashes. I want to avoid the user input of having to 'press any key' to load a new RDP window once the old one expires (after about a minute if it's not logged on)

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,
Gav
