WntIpcfg

Hi, this is a very handy wee utility that we have started to install on users 2K / XP desktops at work.

Pretty sure I could include this no bother - not sure which folder to drop it in to though. Anyone tried / know? Thanks in advance.

unless i am mistaken ipconfig /all does the same job

[dint10]

Yes - indeed it does. However, have you ever tried to talk a user through it on the other end of a phone?

good comment i guess you could incude it in FILESCD\$OEM$\$$\System32\ Folder

[dint10]

Mmmm. Forgive me, I am sure you know a lot more about this than I do, but why would I want to do that? Usually, when I install this on a machine it creates a directory under 'Program files'. From there one has just to create a shortcut from the exe on to the desktop.

oh sorry i thought this was like one of the resource kit tools which you can just run and not install, i will have a look at the program now and give you the location you need

ok place it in the SVC-X2M Folder

[dint10]

Thanks - I'll try that and let you know how I get on.

SVC-X2M it is.

Personally, I just add the winipcfg.exe (the actual program, not the installer) in SYSTEM32, and create a shortcut in System Tools, as installation, as such, is not required.

Just to let you know I tried that and it worked a treat. Thanks to both of you for your advice.

Now then, I know that this isn't really the right thread to ask this but I wonder if you could now tell me how to create a shortcut for this that would sit in the All Users desktop?

Thanks again.

I use MAKESCUT from ScriptLogic.

Thanks a lot - I appreciate all your help. I'll check it out.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the problem I am having now? I have posted it under the Unattended Windows thread as 'Problem at 13 mins to go stage'.

Thanks again.
