NVM guys I ended up going ahead and just doing it with 2 Altiris Rip Files and adding them to the Desktop folder of the profile. Took me 5 hours but works a champ.

I was thinking of maybe doing it in an Altiris rip file but there has to be an easier way. The idea I have and what I want to do is be able to create 2 shortcuts on a users desktop to create a quick way to change from single sided to double sided printing without having to click a dozen times to find it in printer properties. One to turn on double sided printing for the printer and a second one that resets the printer back to single sided printing. Anyone tried this? I know I could probably do it with a reg file but we do not allow our users access to running regedit. Jim
