Would someone be willing to help me write a batch file to do the following items? I am not exactly sure how to get started but may be able to continue if someone at least got me started. I remember that %USERNAME% or something similar is the username--which is what I want.
1. Replace ALL my documents folders on the computer to //Server/Book1/Documents/%USERNAME% --set the top level decider. I think there is a place in the registry that covers all accounts! I don't want to have to do this on each account.
2. Update My Music folder on ALL accounts to //Server/Book1/Music
3. Update My Pictures folder on ALL accounts to //Server/Book1/Pictures
4. Is there a way to set the Firefox/Thunderbird profile location without having to set it up through the UI? If so, set to //Server/Book1/Profiles/Internet/%USERNAME% and //Server/Book1/Profiles/Email/%USERNAME% ... same for MC if possible //Server/Book1/Profiles/Music/%USERNAME% 12 (12 for MC version 12)
I will keep thinking about more things I need but I'd really appreciate help. Up until now, I've had to logon to EACH user account and open Tweak UI, then locate the folder.

use a scriptable copier like robocopy or mightysync. If you can find an rsync server/client pair those are good too.
Command line copies in MS operating systems are notoriously unreliable.

I would use xxcopy (http://www.xxcopy.com). It fairly easy to use and the support forum is nice and so is the tutorials. It is much better, and probably richer on feature than most other programs. . .
