I was thinking something like that, except I don't want to have to 
interact with the Sim PC once it has started.  In a slight twist on 
this theory I thought about having the "startup.bat" file residing on 
my server, and having a couple of bat files which re-write that file 
(run from the server) which in effect pre-configures the 
startup.  That way you would run the relevant bat file on the server, 
then wander over to the sim and start it, it looks to the server for 
the bat file and hey presto starts the selected sim software :)

I still like the "sticking a key into the sim" idea... purely for the 
coolness factor.   Yes, I am in fact 7 years old... <lol>
