  YOW!!! CR-CR-LF lineendings!  :-)  Are you trying to start a fight, or what?

  Well, it's quite likely that something else in your system is interfering
and locking it out, but I do wonder:

	c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\
	
\\fitch.corp\SysVol\fitch.corp\Policies\{EC44E774-A908-4583-AE7F-B21D1F38465A}
\User\Scripts\Logon
	c:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Utilities

  You have a network drive in your path.  Does it work any better without
that? 


    cheers,
