Need to Run a Powerpoint, web page or Flash at Logon

[Grommit]

Hi

A teacher asked me if it is possible to run a Powerpoint, Web Page or Flash when a year group logs on ??

 

Is trhis possible ?

Yes, it is. We have a link to a VBS file in the shared Start Menu's Startup folder.

 

The VBS file contains:

 

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "iexplore.exe http://your-web-page-here.com" 

 

You can replace the last bit with

 

objShell.Run "POWERPNT.EXE s:\somefolder\powerpointfile.ppt"

 

or whatever.

Could you create gpo and link the students or year group to it.

in the gpo - user configuration - administration templates - system - logon - run these programs at user logon

 

then you can specify the file or files.

 

I think this would work?
