Otherwise, users may end up with multiple versions of a shortcut. These locations can include, depending upon O/S: WinXP/2K %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\@USERID\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\@USERID\Start Menu\Programs %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\@USERID\Start Menu %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\@USERID\Desktop %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop WinNT %windir%\Profiles\@USERID\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch %windir%\Profiles\@USERID\Start Menu\Programs %windir%\Profiles\@USERID\Start Menu %windir%\Profiles\@USERID\Desktop %windir%\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs %windir%\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu %windir%\Profiles\All Users\Desktop Win9x %windir%\Start Menu\Programs %windir%\Start Menu %windir%\DeskTop Bill

An extraction from one our windows environments: code: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Desktop"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Desktop" "Personal"="C:\\My Documents" "Programs"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu\\Programs" "Start Menu"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu" "Startup"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu\\Programs\\StartUp" With following code you can copy f.e. shortcuts to your desktop: code: $desktop=ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop") COPY "\\server\netlogon\program.lnk" "$desktop" /H greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	I found out that the problem is that addprogramitem douesn't like using unc for the start dir... I change one of the statement to specify c:\ and it worked and the others didn't.. Oh well, back to WSHShortcut() (hail Shawn) _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	yep... but the problem turn out to be with addprogramitem itself (I guess) It will not configure the start in directory if it is a UNC. WSHShortcut() would I actually wanted to make the shortcut in the users startmenu (x5). Which it did, but wouldn't put in the unc start in dir. _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask
