    I use NPP on a computer at work running Window 2000 Professional. The IT people have "corporate login and logout" scripts written in Visual Basic. Every time I go to logout or login, NPP opens automatically. Is there a way to prevent this. I've went through the settings several times, but cannot figure out how to disable/turn off this feature.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

      You might try using Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options... to bring up the Options dialog.  Select the File Types tab, scroll down to the VBS entry, click it and see if the "Opens with" is something like "Microsoft (r) Windows Based Script Host" (this is for XP, but it should be something similar for Windows 2000).

      If there's an "Advanced" button in the "Details for VBS extension" section, click it and make sure that the default action is "Open", not "Edit".

      Again, this is for XP, but there should be similar stuff for Win2K.  --Joel

      Go to Menu : Settings -> Preferences : File Association Tab.
      Then remove the association with vbs.

      Thanks, but I've tried that, and guess what, it still opens the logout.vbs and login.vbs files when I logoff, login and restart my PC.

      Any other suggestions?
