Adding a link to the toolbar on the taskbar (W2K)

[mdbatchelor]

I would like to know if anyone has any script (or if there is a known way) to automate the adding of a link to the toolbars menu from the taskbar? (ie. right click taskbar-->toolbars->"new link").

Ideally I would like to have the link stay in the list even when unchecked (default). I plan to deliver this link to a few desktops and would like to do so via a script (SMS Installer) using any possible method (VBScript, JScript, etc.).

Each time I add a link manually and uncheck it, it disappears.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you're after, but to add a link to the quick launch in the task bar use the. wscript.createShortCut method and insert it into the following directory:

%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\

Thank you. I am actually after the adding of a menu item within the "Toolbars" menu (obtained from right clicking the taskbar and selecting Toolbars).

In the standard menu list is "Address, Links, Desktop and Quick Launch". You can uncheck these items and they remain in the list to be selected later if required.

I would like to add my own link to this list that users can select and unselect whenever they want to use the link's feature (in this case a web link on the taskbar).

The problems I am having are: (1) adding it manually is easy, but once unchecked it removes itself from the list - how do you get it to stay in the list, and (2) how do I automate the delivery (via scripting) to many users, and have it unchecked by default?

I hope this explains it a little better. Thanks in advance for any advice.
