Hi guys, I am banging my head against a wall for the 4th day now. I got a situation in which i have to make sure that every word, excel and PowerPoint get a customized quick access toolbar(QAT) during deployment. Since we discovered that when that setting is applied via GPO it takes our laptops additional time to logon (our system admin tells us 30-45sec on top every other policy, 2min overall which is too much). I searched all sites that I can think of and did not find an answer. I tried to solve in in this way: copy the 3 customized files named: Word.qat, Excel.qat, PowerPoint.qat via batch script to the Default user path (C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office), I choose the Default user so that not only the owner of the laptop can have the customized word,excel, PowerPoint but also every user in the company. Script goes like this: @echo off md C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0Word.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0Excel.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0PowerPoint.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office The problem is that Default user does not exist during deployment process (at least i think so when looking with F8 cmd during deployment), I personally think he is created at the first login process. I Tried with office customization tool but I did not succeed. Please help, and happy holidays to everyone! Thank you,

Hi, it worked like a charm! After 13 Deployments of trying it finally worked Thank you Rocket Man, Also thank you wimvv, your code is too advanced for me in this moment but I appreciate it, maybe I will use the code in the near future. Bye,

Thank you once again, I read about the dp0 syntax but scripting is currently in a unknown outer space domain for me. I tried in my Win 7 VM your first suggestion and it worked, but just to be sure I will ad the %~dp0 line. Have a nice weekend.

Hey Rocket Man, thank you for your fast reply, I have been strugling with this issue for the last 3 days, and it takes so long because I can only test it when I deploy a notebook with some other settings. Do you maybe know a different way that I can test various settings without actually deployint a nottebok and waiting 45 min every time? I will try your trick first thing on monday morning. Thank you,

Hi guys, so this is my first post on the forum and I am hoping you guru's can help me. I will try to describe my problem as accurately as I can. So I will be taking over SCCM 2007 in my company and I am completely new to this so please forgive for the stuff that might seem ordinary to you. We got deployment enviroment setup for cca 200 Users, couple of departments, we use Windows 7 x64 Enterprise SP1. We also use the HTA script in the process, I hope it goes away in the new SCCM 2012 that we have plans to upgrade to. I am supposed to make a very simple think but it does not work for me: install a small 3MB .exe application to program files, and then make a shortcut on desktop for every user that logs into Windows. The batch script looks like this: @echo off msiexec /i "D:\packages\Support Tools 4.1.0\SupportTools.msi"/qb ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 > nul xcopy /s "C:\Program Files (x86)\SupportTools\SupportTools.exe" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" The file is located on the D: drive of the server on which SCCM 2007 is installed in the "packages" directory. ping is here to give the app 10 sec time to install althought the .exe is a application that is ready to run as soon as you double click it, no install procedure. With the 3rd line of the script I want that same .exe to copy to public desktop folder so all users have instant access to that application. The app was originally exe, but I have made .msi with advanced installer software, and it did work for couple of times but only installation to the program files (x86) folder, but no shortcut on desktop(since I have added ping, the copying to program files does not work anymore). I have ran the app every time with the admin priviliges, maybe that is the issue. But I must emphasize that the script works when I start it manually, it does everything what I want to do with the app. Thank you for your answers,
