Nick, Thanks for the reply. I can't us GPO (not on a domain) and this script runs on a Wndows 7 pro PC. It is in an image that gets rolled out every few weeks. If I can figure out the last part here with creating a folder and sharing it to everyone, it will save me hours of work a week. - - - Updated - - - Nick, Thanks for the reply.

I have to modify a script to create a folder on the desktop and share with everyone if it does not exist on a Windows 7 PC - No Domain. Here is the script, need help at bottom ======================================================= Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objComputer=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%") IF Right(objComputer,3) = "000" Then Else strShortcut = objShell.SpecialFolders( "Desktop" ) & "\%username% Share.lnk" strShortcut = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(strShortcut) Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut( strShortcut ) objComputer=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%") objServer=Left(objComputer,7) & "-000" objLink.Description = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%username% Share") objLink.TargetPath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("\\" & objServer & "\Users\%username%\Desktop\%username% Share") objLink.Save End If ======================================================= if "C:\Users\%username%\desktop\%username% Share" exits do nothing if not create the folder and share it with everyone read only ====================================================== The section directly above is what I need to add, anyone have a clue how to make this work?

I roll out a windows image every few weeks to our classroom computers. The instructor PC has 4 profiles, each with a class share folder on the desktop. The student PC has 4 profiles, each with a shortcut on the desktop to the corresponding instructor class share folder. (Student-1 share points to Instructor-1 folder). The computer names are always xxx-yyy-zzz where x is the city, y is the room number and z is the seat number in the classroom. I would like to have a script run that renames part of the path in the shortcut on the desktop to replace the first 7 characters of the computer name with whatever the current computer name is. Can anyone figure out how to do this?
