More info?)
Thanks for the VBScript info except I do not use or understand VBScript. Can
you (or will you please) give me a dos syntax. I have windows xp and windows
98 machines on my network. I need to delete the old icon and then add the
new icon. Since the users do not have modify access to the all
users\documents and settings\desktop will the script work? If not, how do I
give the user temp access to be able to delete the icon and add the new icon?
Thanks in advance for any help on this
