ODC Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hello. I am using the from CD method of RunOneEx, so I do have a %CDROM% environment variable set. How would I place a shortcut on the Administrators desktop pointing to a file or folder on the CD? Also how would I copy files into the Administrators documents folder?I attempted to use the $Docs folder on my unattended windows install disk, but this causes Windows to create a new administrator folder under Administrator.COMPUTERNAMEAssistance please?

wyattXP Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 i had this problem too, the only thing that you can do is to NOT name your computer, leave that space blank and the $Docs folder will work, the only other way is to take the path $OEM$ > $Docs > administrator.computername > whatever you want from there, check the paths that u currently have going on in the Documents and Settings folder to put the items in their respectable places.

ODC Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hello. Thanks for the info. I am going to try to copy the files during RunOnceEx instead of using the $Docs folder. The %userprofile% variable should be set at this time, so I can get it in the right folder(s).This seems to be a major limitation of the $Docs folder, I mean what use is it if the folders your create in there sidelined by Windows creating alternate username.computername folders?
