Logon Script Issue

[andyds]

Windows Server 2003 - I was wondering if anybody knew a VB script that would allow me to re-direct a users desktop to a server share that held the icons to display on the users desktop.

I do not want to use the GPO re-direct policy as I only have one global policy and different departments need different logon scripts for different icons.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the past i've used this script to redirect internet faves which are under the same key, you can use it to redirect the desktop as well the only problem is that you need to restart explorer the first time. I haven't tried it with a UNC path but it should work.

Dim WSHShell, Path

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites", "U:\Favorites", "REG_EXPAND_SZ"
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Favorites", "U:\Favorites", "REG_SZ"

set WSHSHell = Nothing

wscript.quit
