They basically run everyone's exe under a different shortcut, where they point the temp directory to a different place (the server creates this at login) and the resource file to a local copy created for each user.

The loader would then just quit. IOW, if you can't do it inside the main app, you can do it one step before it.

Thanks, Dragan. I thought about Loader idea before and I even shyly suggested it once, but was not listened enough to make this idea through...

All of these issues need a serious discussion. I can try to discuss some of the problems with my boss, but first I need to catch him (he is floating the office helping to solve various problems today)...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
