Scripts (batch files??) to speed up setup of things in XP

[Yobbo]

Hi All

Are there any kind of text file scripts that can be double-clicked,
right-clicked or whatever to automate standard tasks such as configuring the
TCP/IP settings or IE's proxy settings?

Thanks Y

Yobbo,

WMI can automate most of these tasks. Check out the Scripting Guy columns at
the following Microsoft site:

Yes you can do those sort of things with "Windows Script Host" or with
"Batch files"
