SMS: NNP Stays on Windows 95 Taskbar After Login (177466)

SUMMARY

After a Windows 95 client logs on to a domain and runs the Smsls.bat file, the Network Naming Provider (NNP) application may appear on the taskbar and Program Group Control (PGC) may appear to stop responding. The NNP application can be manually closed and may allow PGC to continue. This usually occurs when the client is started, although it may also occur if the client is logged off and back on.

MORE INFORMATION

The problem may occur if the Desktop Applications Director (DAD) toolbar from Perfect Office is loaded. Verify whether this application exists in the client's Startup Group. Running DAD manually may also cause the NNP application to appear on the taskbar.

To workaround the problem, remove the Desktop Applications Director from the Startup Group. The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
