 Create Windows Explorer Toolbar Using VBScript - 9/27/2007 12:30:12 PM

Has anyone tried to create a Windows Explorer toolbar using VBScript? I would like to create a default toolbar that is displayed on the desktop and autohidden on the right side of the screen that all users get when they log in, but so far I have not figured out where or how Windows XP store user's  profile toolbar information. I ran regmon and filemon but somehow Windows XP appears to neither write to the registry nor to the user's profile folder when a new toolbar is created yet I am certain it is stored in the profile somewhere. I am also certain it is stored in the user's NTUSER.DAT file.  I am starting to think it makes an API call directly to a dll somewhere, but even that should have been picked up by Filemon.

So far my script will create the toolbar folder, and create the proper shortcuts in it, but the last step is to create a toolbar on the user's desktop that sources the toolbar folder. To date, I have had no luck figuring out how Windows stores toolbar information.

Any help would be appreciated.

I use regshot to check things that modify registry settings.

Very easy and fast.
