Add item to Quicklaunch in First Position?
Hello,
Is it possible for me to add an item to the quicklaunch toolbar, or to c:\doduments and settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft \Internet Explorer\QuickLaunch and I want it to show up as the first item on the quicklaunch, I want it to be the first item right next to the start menu, not be placed on the end. Any way to do this automatically? I am doing this via a batch script, here is what I am doing: First I delete the old icon that is there and then copy the new icon to quicklaunch. del "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft \Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\MyLogin.lnk" xcopy "c:\Program Files\Software\Apps\Login.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" Any ideas? thanks. |

To move the icon, just left click on it and drag it where you want, no batch file needed. Alias |

Hi Paul,
Unlock the Taskbar and simply drag it over. Then relock the Taskbar. If it doesn't stay there, run Save Settings on Exit from line 54: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Paul" wrote in message ...

I think I need to clarify... I am using a batch script to add the item to the QuickLaunch, I am not doing this by hand because I have 50+ PC's to do it on. However when I add it to c:\documents and settings\%username% \application data\microsoft\internet explorer\Quicklaunch - it goes to the end of the quicklaunch, or on the little context menu if there are to many items there already. I know I can move it to the first position by clicking and dragging, my users however do not. I wanted to some how automatically do it so that when they logged in it would be in the first position. |

Move all of the other icons to a temp folder (move
c:\path_to_quicklaunch\*.* c:\temp_path), copy yours there, then move the other ones back. I haven't tried this as I've learned that no matter where I think things should be on the desktop, people always put them where they want them. Louis "Paul" wrote in message ...
