I'm working on a complete (with every software needed) unattended installation of w2k and I would like to copy some shortcuts on all-user's desktop (using a batch) but instead of copying files in c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop, it creates a folder : c:\documents. In fact, he considers the blank character as the end.
Is there a way to bypass this ? That's very boring and limitating.

Thanks for your help.

You could create a standard user profile with all the desktop settings and have all users get that profile

There may be a way with a switch - but I couldn't tell you without looking it up

You are including qoutes around the statement? When typing a command line you need to include the long filename path inside qoutes. EX:
md "C:\documents and settings\all users\desktop"
Give that a try
