Win98/95 start up with Win2000 shell through Terminal Services - how's it done?

here's my mini dilemma for all you IT people.

I have a bunch of win95/98 machines (p100's, etc. - slow machines) that are going to be running strictly office XP through terminal services on a Win2000 Server (dell power-edge 2550 if it matters).

I want to have each of those terminals startup directly to the login portion in a win2000 shell, so that the users don't even know that they are actually running on a win95 OS. It should seem as if they are using win2000 entirely.

besides start-up, is there something i can do, perhaps through win.ini or system.ini, that will take care of this?

it sounds a little confusing. hope you understand what i need.

btw, i'm just an intern assigned to this project, so i'm a little clueless when it comes to win2k server and all the plug ins and what not.

TIA 😀
 

Maybe you could just put a link to the terminal server app in the startup folder so it comes up each time the PC powers up?
 
Check into Citrix MetaFrame XP for Windows 2000 server. You can format those old PCs with DOS, then install the Citrix ICA client. When clients boot their PC, it connects to the server and uses Win2000. It's considerably faster and great for remote management. I have this running at the company I work for and several small business clients. You can get more info at www.citrix.com.
