Just curious is there a way to search for a file (could be multiple on the pc) called test.lnk and replace it with the file test2.lnk?

where test2.lnk is located at \\servername\dir\test2.lnk.

And test.lnk may be in more than one place on the PC?

If not or if its too complicated no worries just started writing batch files and was curious about whether or not this is possible.

Thanks in advanced

Try this:

::== replink.bat

@echo off
dir /s/b/a-d c:\test.lnk > linklist
for /f "tokens=*" %%T in (linklist) do (
echo copy \\servername\dir\test2.lnk "%%T"
)

:: DONE



=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
