    Creating Batch File to auto-set shortcuts, download/install programs.


    Hello All,

    My current employer has AD Roaming Profiles turned off due to sync issues between DC1 and DC2. Since I am not an admin on the network I'm unable to do this from an admin point, but I do have full control in my AD Profile.

    Due to roaming profile being turned off, I have to take time to setup at a new computer if needed.

    I was wondering if I could just create a batch file that would setup everything I use.

    This includes: Creating Shortcuts on the Task Bar, Creating Desktop Shortcuts, Move programs/files to the Startup Folder, Download additional programs.

    I am not wanting someone to create it for me.

    I am wanting to know is this possible from a Limited User account, and if so, a nudge in the right direction.

    :)

    Windows 10 - Cannot adjust theme settings

    You don't have to create a batch file just to get a shortcut. Just do this:

    1) Right-click desktop, choose "new > shortcut"

    2) Set the shortcut as control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper

    That's it. Now you have a shortcut to that particular part of control panel. No batch file necessary. You can even pick your own icon for your shortcut.

    How to Disable Touchscreen Gestures on Windows 10 (Action Center & Virtual Desktop)

    I haven't had time to try it but I think this is a "portable" app, it doesn't store settings portable so it's not truly portable but it doesn't require an installation, you have to run the executable (SkipMetroSuiteUI.exe) after every reboot. If you want
    it to autostart you need to add a shortcut to it in the startup folder, fastest way to it is:

    winkey + r

    type shell:startup

    paste shortcut here.

    Sometimes this method doesn't work, then you'll have to create a batch file and a shortcut to the batch file instead.
