Yep. I ran into that as well. Thanks for taking the time to play around with this. At this point, I don't see any way to accomplish what I was after. Using a scheduled task triggered by any user logging in seems to be my best bet. The client app will continue to run in the background and no...

One of the problems is that the users are not tech savvy so I need to automate as much as possible. A couple of users can barely remember how to login, literally. The application is a proxy client which does not allow multiple instances. So if I select auto-start in the proxy client settings on...
