At The logon The script Will run and a previous configuration Will be resoted, and every time at The logon The settings Will be what i configured. I want this, cause people use my Computer and modify everything and i have to restore manually.

Probably not, tell you the truth... I'm wondering if there's any facility to lock down Winstep, though. I know you can lock down a dock or the shelf to forbid icons being added or removed, but I'm not sure about the settings.
That would be a good suggestion for an update, though.

For the record, I'd be more annoyed at the people changing things where they don't belong... I'd be really really REALLY pissed off, actually...

personally if people kept changing MY settings on MY computer they would be barred from using it. hide the mouse, keyboard, and any other input device you may have. hell put monitoring software on it.

I believe the settings (or at least most of them) reside in the registry.
Obviously, you could save a .reg file with the appropriate keys, make a .bat file or a script to update the registry and an entry in the system scheduler to run it on log-on, but the problem is that you cannot be certain that the action will start and complete before Winstep gets executed.
Of course, you could also remove the default Winstep auto-run entry, add the Winstep executable in the batch file or script after the registry updater and use that to launch Winstep.
I suppose that could work.

i'll be blunt if it's a personally computer kick them the fuck off it till they can learn some respect. if it's a work computer deal with it, cause more than likely you share it with coworkers.

Don't mind the children here, mate.
Just previously, I do believe I told you pretty much how to do it. Go ahead and try it and let us know if it worked.
