Read Registry as part of the login script

[slingeruk]

Dear all

I'm having a bit of a problem with a login script and was hoping somebody
might be able to help. I need to come up with a login script that will map
lower than the initial share of the folder structure (ie
\\server\share\folder). This works fine with W2k, but needs a subst command
for NT 4.0 machines. To get around this I have found a registry key
(HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Current Version) which
displays the version number of the OS (4.00 for NT, and 5.00 for W2k). What
I need to do now is somehow take this key, and use it as a variable in a
login script (batch file rather than VB script). Does anyone know of using
this key in the script? (An example would be great).

Thanks in advance

Steve

Not needed.

IF DEFINED %Programfiles% goto :W2k
goto :NT

:w2k
net use k: \\server\share\folder
goto :EOF
:NT
subst K: \\server\share\folder

Ciao, Walter

ver |find "4.0"
if errorlevel 1 goto:2000
if not errorlevel 1 goto:NT4

if you have xp boxes, check for "XP" in ver
