You can use a @ sign or a # to tell the script to fire an executable. Personaly I would put it in the public folder, I would rather not have people running things from sys, if I can help it.
Some examples you could use are. @\\servername\sys\public\*.exe @Z:\*.exe (If Z was mapped to public)
#\\servername\sys\public\*.exe #Z:\*.exe (If Z was mapped to public)
The difference in the @ and # sign are that the # sign stops the login script until the program executes, the @ sign will let the script continue to run as it executes.
