startup scripting

I have a script that I want to run at login, but only from the console. I
don't want it to run if logged into a terminal session. Is there a way to
use the startup folder in this fassion?

AFAIR you can test %ClientName%. It is defined for terminal sessions only.

Can you give me some sample options for that? Basically I want to start an
app when logging into the console.

if "%ClientName%"=="" start /b "Application" "c:\program files\...\..."

I am not familiar with VB scritping. Is there a way that this can be done
with a batch file? If not what do I need to do to get the VB script
working?

The example I gave you (while posting under my "FNL" alias) is a batch file
command, not a VB Script line of code. Why don't you give it a try?

Sorry I thought you said it was VB, I will give that a try

Okay, I have put this off for awhile but want to get it figured out. So if
I create a batch file and put the following line in it

if "%ClientName%"=="" start /b "Application" "c:\program files\...\..."

then I just need to change the "c:\program files\...\..." section to the
location of the app I want to run and it will only run when logged in from
the console and will not run when logged in from a terminal session?

This thread appears to be about 10 weeks old and most of it has disappeared
from the horizon of my newsreader. As I said before: Why don't you give it a
try and watch what happens?
