Via the command line: My Documents: Change the value named "Personal" in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders using something like reg.exe, a regedit import file, VBS, or regini. For example, in VBS: objReg.SetExpandedStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "Personal", "V:\" & strNTName (all one line, and I have variables in my script for HKEY_CURRENT_USER and strNTName) Permissions: SubInACL.exe from the resource kit. But you will have to research this... it appears to add ACL's in the wrong order. Take a look at this code sample, for more info: http://tinyurl.com/qcse HTH, Glenn Sullivan, MCSE+I MCDBA David Clark Company Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Eduardo Freitas [mailto:eduardofreitas@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 2:24 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] registry permissions Hi all! I am trying to create some scripts to automate the set up of some workstations. One program that the users have to run need some changes in the permissions of some registry keys. How can I do that in the command line? Another question: How can I redirect My Folders to some network drive via command line as well?
