Run Programs Not Applied from Policy File (172168)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q172168

SYMPTOMS

When a policy file has User\Shell\Restrictions\Hide all items on desktop selected (enabled), programs specified by Computer\System\Run\Run do not run the first time a user logs in if a local profile does not exist. However, the programs will run at subsequent log on attempts or after a local profile has been created.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
