Is there a vbscript that can set a users folder options?

IE: Open each folder in its own window
Launch folder windows in separate process

Thanks in advance
 
Quote : "Set a users folder options" ? Could you be more specific... What folder/options.
 
These settings are saved in the registry.
Try to determine (using regmon from sysinternals) which registry keys are changing when you save the new settings.

Then you can use WSHShell.RegWrite to change the values in a logonscript.
Or use WMI to change the rettings remotely...

Hope this will get you started...


Please tell me if I'm wrong I like to learn from my mistakes...

Sorry if was'nt clear about folder options. :-(

From "Explorer", "Tools" and "Folder Options".

There are various general and advanced settings.

Just wandered if there is a .vbs to set some of these?

Why not?
All those Folder option settings are saved in the registry. No?
So I think the way to go is as I mentioned above...
