How to copy files to local users \documents and setting\user\application data folder?

[nintari]

I am looking for a way to copy files to a local domain users Application Data folder either through a self extracting file, batch file or even logon script. I need to install Stationery for MS Outlook to about 100+ users desktops and instead of pullign the stationery from "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\stationery" they pull it from a file in thier documents and settigns folder...

I can craete a self extractign exe but that would only be useful if it had to go to the same directory on each and every machine

Put the stuff you need to be copied down to the client system in \\someserver\someshare\somedirectory and add something like this to the login script?

if not exist "%APPDATA%\somedirectory\somefile" xcopy /s/e "\\someserver\someshare\somedirectory" "%APPDATA%\somedirectory\"

why not put it in the "All Users" folder? It's works for Start Menu, favs, etc at least...

PrincessDie I will try that and see if it works. Thanks


mattjw916: I tried that but outlok didnt look there for the stationery. I could point to it but then I would have to do than manually and doing it that many times is a bit of a waste
