lads, script below what I am trying to do is replace the properties file in the user profile call my web app and then set the properties file back to the default. if I place a pause in my third line and run the command file I get the correct version of Java and after I hit a key I get the latest version the next time I run another app. So very close....

My question is how can I copy the original file back to the users application after IE runs. I have tried to put the copy command at the end but IE hasn't opened with the settings from the first file.
