I need to be able to run a script or an exe that will copy the Administer
Profile to the All Users profile and the Default Profile.

I have PCs that use a standard configuration we load Win2k on. After we
load the OS and set up the desktop, I copy the profile manually. The only
application we use on this machine is autolaunched from a profile that is
created during the installation of the said application. I have created a
Win2k unattended CD that does everything but the last step of copying the
profile and I can't release it to our other units until it does.

I have tried several ways of copy, delete, but Windows isn't letting a
script manipulate the folders. Is it because these are "SpecialFolders"?

The closest I came to was when I used the send keys method to use the MS
utility to copy the admin profile to a new folder. I then changed the path
of the all users and default users profile to point to the new folder. This
works except the application we load apparently does not find out what the
path is to the desktop it is trying to put the shortcut and exc on and it
errors out during the install and quits.

Anyone able to help?
