Hi David, I respect your heartfelt intention to minimize the required workload, and yet I am frightened by the thought of copying settings between computers. This is because no two systems will ever be the same, and so I wouldn't want the configuration of one system to overwrite the configuration of another. Plus, when you copy settings in this way, you will spread problems should the original system have them.
Thanks, though, David.

That is, what if they want all the computers in the classroom having an equal setup. I mean, not just for the desktop and treeview reading, but all across the board. In such a case, take one of the "working" computers, and copy the GW Profile Folder, onto a portable media. Then go to one of the "troubled" computers, and copy in the ported profile folder. Restart WE, and all the settings apps and so forth, now will be exactly the same on both machines. Repeat the procedure on any trouble-machine, and enjoy all your students running an equal setup. Should you, for whatever reason decide to have different setup on the individual machines, you might go about it the way Rod suggested. Still, I would have thought copying the Explorer.Set file from one of the working machines, might have taken care of the issue at stake.
