Is there an 'All Users' startup in Vista?

[randalldale]

Hi Guys,

As before thanks for the help on the previous occasions.

I need to load an HTA file in the All Users\startup is that possible in Vista like in XP?

If so where would I find such a location as the 'All Users' I try to access is no access?

Thanks,

Randall

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in Vista is equivalent to

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in 2k/xp

I will give it a shot thanks.

Appears to be hidden or something...

yeah C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder. you can either type it manually, enable hidden files and folders or type %PROGRAMDATA% into the address bar (with the % signs)

Sure but how am I going to apply a .wim file or copy the files I need that far down in with out changing the attributes?

Ok, here is what I'm trying... will let you know.

objWShell.Run "cmd /c copy c:\$oem$\runonce.cmd" & chr(34) & "c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup\runonce.cmd",0, True

objWShell.Run "cmd /c copy c:\$oem$\finished.hta" & chr(34) & "c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup\finished.hta",0, True

objWShell.Run "cmd /c xcopy c:\$oem$\images\*.*" & chr(34) & "c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup\images /e /i /y /q",0, True

Didn't work...

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or %PROGRAMDATA%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup will both work but i believe the reason why the code above isnt working is the space between start and menu in the destination part of your copy command.
