Assign A Logon Script To A Local User Account (XP Pro)

The default location for a local logon script is %systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts. If you want to store logon scripts in this directory, it must be shared and the share name must be Netlogon. However, you can store logon scripts in a different directory. Keep in mind though that the user must have access to the folder during the logon process.

To assign a logon script to a user account, complete the steps outlined below.

1. Click Start and click Control Panel.

2. Double click the Administrative Tools applet.
3. Double click the Computer Management applet.
4. Expand Local Users and Groups.
5. Click the Users container.
6. Right click the appropriate user account and click Properties.
7. Select the Profile tab.
8. Under Logon Script, type in the path and the file name of the logon script.
9. Click OK.

Now when the user logs onto the local computer, the logon script will automatically run.
