Ok so I cant find an answer to this easily.

A lot of applications hold certain info in the C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\ folder

In particular for me:

SSHSecure Shell & Thunderbird.

Now I need some files to be put into the dirs on the machine, but the problem is unless I keep the same username I cant do this. Is there a way of picking the user?

like C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\

or could I perhaps put these folders in the ALL users??

Currently Im just putting these in manually after install.

Thanks!

sure can... use %USERPROFILE% for username specific, this will point to 'C:\Documents and Settings\<username>'

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% will give you 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users'..

So... COPY /Y whateverfile.ext "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\folder"

Ok so does that pick the first user profile then?

This wont happen but if I had say 6 users which would it pick?

As of right now I have this:

Administrator

Me

All Users

Default User

So your saying if I used %USERPROFILE%\Application Data it would go in the Me\Application Data???

I dont understand what all the fuss is about thunderbird settings then? A lot of people said the info could not be sent as youd need to keep the same user name, but this would be fine.
