How do you guys put the computer icon, network neighborhood icon, and IE icon on the desktop unattendedly on a fresh installed computer? WAIK, Silent Switch, or Registry?

Registry is best

thank you so much. got it to work.

Do you have the registry that enable the quick launch on windows 7?

Here is how to do it manually.

make a folder here.

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

and create a toolbar on your taskbar.

Thx,

However, I am looking for either registry, script, or silent switch that I can do it silently because I am doing deployment.

There is no registry for quicklaunch I use this tool on Windows 7

For Windows 8.1 I do something different. In fact I have dropped the Quicklaunch even in Windows 7 and started using this
