Hi all,

Ok then, situation is we have a new license file that needs to be installed on every desktop, i really cant be arsed (is the best way of putting it) to go round to each desktop and get the file and put it into the correct place... i tried to write a bat script, but obviously batch scripts only work in dos, and dos doesnt like UNC paths.... any other ideas??? what i want to be able to do, is send an e-mail to them all, and they click the link on their e-mail and it does the rest for them.... it doesnt overwrite, or anything like that, it is a new license file...

The desktops concerned are a mixture between XP Pro, and Win2K

Thanks
