I run a backup.bat file from out Login Script if the user has not performed a
backup of his/her files within a certain period of time. I am using the
following line in the Login Script: oShell.Run "cmd /C CD D:\backup &
backup.bat ". How can I make this batch file run in a command prompt and
disable the X to close the windows and take away the ability for the user to
stop the process via keystrokes.

hide the window and run the process as another user

Hi Bill,

If you want it completely hidden, then try using scripting:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/process/proct...pcthvb0

Modify the sample script to run something like "cmd.exe /c D:\backup.bat"
instead

Than don't use such a stupid backup method.
