Login Script- SYS:Public utils won't execute

Hi fellas,

Heres the problem: My login script has recently stopped working for all users as it tries to execute DOS exe's like capture.exe. I should mention that the ADMIN account works ok.
I think it has to do with the fact that a while ago my \DOS\%OS Version mapping is no longer working with the correct directories. I had setup a directory with 4 diffrent versions of DOS from 3.0 to 7.0. Well, 3.0 and 4.01 had been deleted by accident. I no longer have the older versions of dos so what I did was create the old dir's and gave them the same name they had before and copied DOS 6.22 into both of them. Now no users (EXCEPT THE ADMIN ACCOUNT) can get the exe's in the SYS:public dir's to execute from the login script.
I also noticed that the login script at the point where %OS version executes has recently asked for a directory called 4.90. There was never a dir called that before so I'm lost as to what thats all about.
Any Idea's on tracking what the problem could be?
I need get those captures working again.
Thanks
 
If users can't run programs from the public directory it suggests that there is no search drive linking to it. Have you put a line in the Organistaional Script to prevent further scripts from running? IE No default script is running?

Just an idea.
