    Hello,

    I am a beginner and I am trying some tests.

    I have a .jnpl file that start a service/connection to a server website (http//:17x.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/pippo/apps/pippo-start.jnpl) and after this i have the icon in the left right corner that tell me if the program has started or not.

    I would like that a group of users in my organization when they login, this connection starts automatically

    I thought that I can do this simply by copying in C:\nameofapp\pippo.jnpl and then creating a shortcut from this and put this in the autostart folder for the user or all users.

    Another way could be to directly create a shortcut and putting the url.. but i am afraid that it will open IE to download the .jnpl file instead to open it directly.

    Another way could be to use a GPO under "Registry": to dont save a file or folder in C: and put this file on our network folder "\\networkshare\Pippo1pippo.jnpl" , then create a registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with a new value "\\networkshare\Pippo1pippo.jnpl"  BUT it doesnt work (i am afraid that it is not possible to start a file from a network folder.

    I wish somebody can try to give me some good advice to learn how to do this kind of operation in the best way.

    Thank you

    If you have got domain, you could put you script as logon gpo.

    May you show me some examples please?

    However, I did some test and I understood that it is possible to add a registry key manually in the client and it works:

    here I added HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

        "javaws.exe http://17x.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/blabla/blabla/pippo.jnpl"     and it starts the application automatically, BUT if I do it by registry of GPO it doesn't work.
    What is wrong?
    It could be the best solution because I have nothing to copy on my network or local folder.
