I am a high school teacher who runs a NT4 win95/98 network. I am looking for a way to delete a file upon login, when you don't know which folder the file is located in. (ie napster installation file). Will I need a VB script to do this? Thanks in advance for any help. Rob

Hi Rob, Here is a copy of a posting I did last week. If you grab the zip file he covers much of what you would need to do if you wanted to use DOS commands to do it. Good Luck Perry Check out this FAQ that Timo Salmi created for the alt.msdos.batch newsgroup newbies. ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsbat62.zip I pulled out some of what he covers and pasted below to give you a taste of what is covered. Yea in NT some of this stuff can be done another way with different tools but for those of you that don't know those tools either this FAQ can come in pretty handy.

How about adding a cybersitter app. or closing the port that napster uses from your router. These would prevent your students from dowloading napster.

I want to know how I can keep lab users from downloading software on our computers.
