Generic Script That Will Work with NT/XP Clients.
Currently my login scripts are configured to install apps
on NT clients. During the deployment process there will
be some clients with XP and some with NT. Is there a
common file place location that I can indicate in the
login script that will work with NT or XP? In the past,
it went in the all users program file location when using
NT. Now, with XP the default is somewhere else. Need to
have a location that will work for both XP and NT. Any
advice or help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I don't have NT workstation anywhere handy, but 2000 and XP have these
locations setup as variables ...

i.e. the "ALl User's Desktop" can be scripted to:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop
