SYMPTOMS

   Cannot find the working folder for this program. The program may have
   difficulty locating its files and documents. Make sure that the working
   folder is specified properly in the property sheets for the program and
   any shortcuts to it.

If you click YES, the logon script runs. If you click NO, the logon script does not run.

  2. Select the Program tab.

  3. Specify a valid directory in the Working field. The default directory is the current directory and can be specified by placing a period "." in the field.
