I have made several scripts that run at startup on my school network but I have recently thought of some scripts that I want to only run when a specific user logs on.

I place the script that i want loaded at startup in the startup folder in the startmenu and so at startup it runs the following script:

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "File to Run"
WScript.Quit

Also im not sure if "option explicit" is even nessesary.

Basicly I need this script edited in a way that the "file to run" is only run when lets say Chris.Baker is logged in.

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

the short way is to put the script that you want for the specific user in his startup directory the path should be like this "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

or if you connect to server (Domain) you can do that by logon script.

That wont work, whenever a user logs in here a new user profile is made, llike chris.baker.001 chris.baker.002 etc.

Hope this helps. This will even allow you to run it on specific days. '1 =Sunday, 2=Mon, 3=Tues, 4=Wed, 5=Thurs, 6=Fri, 7=Sat

On Error Resume Next

Dim WshNetwork, WshShell, objFSO

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strDay = 2 'default for unknown configured user

Select Case LCase(strUserName)
Case "bfrank", "alan", "steve"
strDay = 4
Case "judy", "sophie", "laura"
strDay = 5
End Select

If CStr(strDay) = CStr(Weekday(Now())) Then
now run your program
End If
