Moving Msie 'n Outlook Express Start Menu Shortcut

[Nanaki]

^says it all^

I'm currently moving start menu shortcuts into the right place with batch files, but I can't seem to move the Internet Explorer.lnk and Outlook Express.lnk. Where are they exactly situated anyway? All users or Default user? Can't find 'em.

I'm installing during T-12,

tnx,

You mean the Start Menu stickies? (on the top-left of the two-pane view)

If so, its a registry entry.

Or you mean the shortcuts in the "Programs" sub-menu ?

In the sub-menu.

This is my current code:

DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Windows Update.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Programmatoegang en -instellingen.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Windows-catalogus.lnk"
DEL "%Userprofile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Hulp op afstand.lnk"

MOVE "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Ontspanning" "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Bureau-accessoires\Ontspanning"

MD "%Allusersprofile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Download"
MD "%Allusersprofile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Office"
MD "%Allusersprofile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Ontspanning"
MD "%Allusersprofile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Utilities"

MOVE "%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Internet Explorer.lnk" "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Utilities\Internet Explorer.lnk"
MOVE "%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Outlook Express.lnk" "%AllUsersProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Utilities\Outlook Express.lnk"

EXIT

Its in allUsers.

If its visible for you, why not just right-click and see the shortcut's properties? It should show the path where its located, in there.

Actually, I just copied the folder from Default User and All Users from my VMware to my host PC. Those shortcuts weren't in them though.

Thanks! I'll try it out in my next install.

The OE icon doesn't actually get created until the user logs on the first time, so you'll have to run the script during the GUI stage when the user is logging on. I have a 2nd script that yanks that shortcut after the 1st reboot. Same goes for Remote Assistance.
