Hiya, I've been asked to create a standard QuickLaunch bar for all systems within the company. I've created a couple of batch files and also created a folder for the nessecary company wide applications...all working OK.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any way of rolling this out to all staff without attending all systems?

I've tried looking in the registry but with no joy!

Any ideas?

Sorry, I would like to install a networked quick launch bar onto all PC's within the company without actually visiting all of them one by one. I know the local quick launch lives deep within the Application Data folder. I was wondering if there was a registry line or INI file that allows me to automatically install and launch a network quick launch

I recently had to do this at my company. Here is a perfect solution. This script will copy a file to quick launch on every profile on a workstation. List.txt must contain names or IP's of the workstations you would like to modify.

FOR /F %j IN ('type "C:\list.txt"') DO @FOR /F %i IN ('dir /B /A:D-H-S "\\%j\c$\documents and settings"') DO echo F | xcopy /yo "C:\link.lnk" "\\%j\c$\documents and settings\%i\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\link.lnk"
