Script To Create a shortcut on the desktop

Dim WSHShell, fs

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set fs = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Function MakeDesktopShortcut( name, target )

Dim Shortcut,DesktopPath,StartupPath

DesktopPath = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

Set Shortcut = WSHShell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\" & name & ".lnk")

Shortcut.TargetPath = target

StartupPath = fs.GetParentFolderName( target )

If fs.FolderExists( StartupPath ) then

Shortcut.WorkingDirectory = StartupPath

End If

Shortcut.Save

MakeDesktopShortcut "Shortcut to Notepad", "%windir%\notepad.exe"

Map a network drive using a different username/password

net use drive letter \\computer_name\shared folder name or root folder /user:domain name or computer name password

Example:

net use * \\SERVER\Share /USER:darconio password /PERSISTENT:Yes

Using the star (*) will use the first available letter and with PERSISTENT:Yes the drive will be kept even after a reboot

To remove a mapped drive:

net use X: /del

Where X is the letter of the unwanted drive

Add a printer using TCP port

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

objNewPort.Name = "IP_(ip address of your printer)"
objNewPort.Protocol = 1
objNewPort.Queue = "(name of your printer)"
objNewPort.HostAddress = "(ip address of your printer)"
objNewPort.PortNumber = "9999"
objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False


'prevents timeout WMI problem
On Error Resume Next
objNewPort.Put_
ErrCounter = 0
Do While (Err.Number <> 0) And (ErrCounter < 3)
newHour = Hour(Now())
newMinute = Minute(Now())
newSecond = Second(Now()) + 10
waitTime = TimeSerial(newHour, newMinute, newSecond)
Application.Wait waitTime
Err.Number = 0
objNewPort.Put_
ErrCounter = ErrCounter + 1
Loop
On Error GoTo 0

Sample script to update the proxy settings
