I have written a script that starts Outlook 2003 and creates a new user
profile when a user logs in. Howeve, I want to get rid of the shortcut in the
programs menu, but users do not have permissions on th C: drive. I have added
the following line to change the permissions on th efile but it does not work
when run as a user.
I am presuming that CACLS.exe will only run as an administrator. Just
looking for confirmation that I am right.
WshShell.Run("cmd /c echo y| cacls " & menuicon & " /T /E /g
Everyone:F"),0,true
If I am right is there another way to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks
