Hi, love the site decided to sign up :-P Neways what im trying to come across is something that would let me slipstream shortcuts onto my desktop after a fresh install. I was thinking along time lines of a batch program but i didnt end up finding anything. I tried a couple programs that in a since makes a copy of your computer, then you change what you want, then run the program again and it will detect the changes made and makes an exe that will do that for you if that makes any sense lol. Basically in the end what i need once i reload my machine i have a shortcut on my desktop to IE, My Computer, and My Documents. Not sure if its easier said then done. Long day at work, have a good one guys. RedHat
