Hi,

I run a network for a school system. I need to give the teacher the ability to disable the internet during class. I have easily figured out how to do this (Netscape is easy, and does not require registry updating, Internet Explorer is a pain!). I need the teacher in the class to be able to run a batch script and remotely update all the Windows 98 clients in his classroom from HIS computer. Using regedit is not realistic or desirable. I need the ability to automate this task. I update the registry on all user log-in scripts using:
regedit /s \\server_name\source_directory\gegistry_script.reg .
Is there anything similar I can use automatically, using a batch file after the class has logged onto their computer from the teacher's work station? I should add that the clients are Windows 98.

Thanks

I think you could create a batch file with the exact same lines that you use in the logon script. I use a similar line in my autoexec.bat to restore some settings at reboot:
regedit c:\restore.bat

Something like that.
