It most certainly does have a group policy! Start / run gpedit.msc and you can drill down through Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Scripts (Startup / Shutdown). You can add the script there.
This will run the script before the logon box appears, just after "Applying Computer Settings".
If you want to do it the more traditional way, i.e. run the script as you log on, you can open the start menu, programs, and then right-click on the "Startup" program group, then select Open from the context menu that appears. In there you can create a shortcut to the script. Then it will be executed when explorer starts and your desktop icons appear.
Hope this helps
Hi Chris.
I was thinking of the W2K server that sends out the group policies, and has a MMC to set it up and W2K workstations did not have that.
This is from VMware forum.

So do I just put this in a Text file.
