  Mike:

   I don't think it a problem with system().

   I think the problem is with your script files.

   The fact that you can map the drive by using a batch file tells me
   that system() is ok.

   The most likely problem is one of the following problems:

   1: Your workstation is running more than one script file at boot time

   2: A script file is over-riding another and you are not loading the
      script file that you think you are.

   Try running the script file that you know is correct manually and
   then try running system()
