What would you need to know?

Thanks for the help, I will try to sort this out in the morning.

I thought I'd have to do that. Thanks anyway. Just a quick question, don't want to sound totally dumb. I was thinking of a server alias or something like that, question is, how do I go about it? Do I have to do something in DNS?

I wonder if anyone can help. One of our servers died, which incidentally had lots of applications installed on it. I managed to get all the apps back onto another server, no problem. However, all users share the same desktop, start menu and so on (different for each year group and staff members). The problem is, that during logging on a script is run to connect to the apps server, obviously I've changed the name from the server that died to the new one but the programs on the start menu are now dead links. Windows seems to store some info in the profile and I can fix it by deleting a users profile and when they log on, the profile is recreated and the links works. What I don't want to do, is have to go through 800+ profiles and delete everything but their favourites (I've been told by the head of IT that the favourites have to stay). Does anyone have a quick fix (if there is one) or an idea of how I can delete everything in a users profile directory apart from the favourites folder? Hope I've made sense. Thanks.
