That should have been "REGEDIT /S" instead of "START /S" in that last message. The /S switch on REGEDIT prevents the annoying "the contents of blah.reg have been successfully incorporated" message. Something else that may help people in general with logon scripts. If you are spawning Windows executables from your logon script, using "START /W <program> <switches>" instead of "<program switches>" will cause the batch file to wait until the spawned process completes and exits before continuing on. "START" can also be used to run another DOS program or batch file in a separate window. It even comes with help. :) Type "START /?" to see.
