CREATE DEFAULT USER FOLDERS AT FIRST LOGON

[ITSTOAST]

Hi is it possible to set up a default set of folders for the user at first logon.
I have a set of folders that I wish to populate the "My Documents" (redirected) of each user (and lock these against changes) is it possible via a script?

easiest way would be to create a shortcut you paste into each users folder, the on the destination set the permissions to read only

Hi thanks for the thought, I need all the users to have a set of these folders in their own home folder.

Create a login script to run and do the following.
dont put the "" in the script

IF NOT EXIST "location" COPY "folder"

Ex. IF NOT EXSIST C:\TESTFOLDER COPY L:\USERTEMPLATE\TESTFOLDER

If you want to test for files within the folder use the same script.

location? I understand to be where to place folder, copy?
and L:\?

The first part istesting to see if the folder exsist, if it does not exsist the second part copys from a source folder.

You want to place a specific folder in each users folder. So your script would look something like this.

IF NOT EXSIST C:\Documents and setting\%USERNAME%\My Document\DESIREDFOLDER COPY L:\USERTEMPLATE\TESTFOLDER

This will check to see if the desiredfolder is in the my documents folder of each user, if not it will copy it from a different location to thier My Documents folder.
