[gptalk] Vista and environment variables

Hi

 

I'm trying to download and install a corporate screensaver on our
machines - Win2k, XP and Vista.

 

The method I chose was to use a GPO to 

 

a)      Use a batch file to copy the .scr to the %appdata% folder
(system32 was causing permission problems)

b)      Put %appdata%\screensavername.scr in the Screen Saver Executable
Name field under User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control
Panel/Display

 

This seems to work OK for the XP machines, but Vista doesn't seem to
like the %appdata% variable in the GPO. If I put in the full pathname
its OK.

 

Any ideas gratefully received!

 

Thanks

 

Steve
