Hello,

How do you launch your program ? Could you be more specific ?

Hello!

For example, if a user opens OpenOffice and select the option "Load OpenOffice.org during system start-up" when he closes the session this program doesn't open on startup. This is also happening with other software that we expect to run on startup by configuring it.

It works with default windows shell, but we need to use WinXshell due to the limit of 16 users and it's not working.

Thank you!

Hello,

Yes this seems like a normal behavior since the opening of the application occurs when a full desktop is published.

You can use the local GPO to add a logon script that will be executed at logon, this GPO is located into Local Computer Policy / User Configuration / Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

You can also create a script, name it logon.bat file and copy it into C:\Users\<name of the user>\AppData\Roaming
This script will be executed for the user at logon.
