Hi, this is me BigGrin !

I've a little strange problem using %userprofile% and %appdata% environment variable in a Batch script (.bat). The script is local, and must be executed on a remote computer :


@echo off

echo Userprofile : %userprofile%
echo AppData : %appdata%


This script is necessary to cpy shortcuts (.lnk) in he Starting folder of Windows and in the task bar (led by Internet Explorer, from %appdata%).

The script works well if I execute it on my local computer.
The script works well if I copy it manually on the remote computer (running from my desk to the remote computer wuith a USB disk Tongue), and returns me the following :

Userprofile : C:\Document and Settings\Administrateur
AppData : C:\Document and Settings\Administrateur\Application Data


But if I use smartCode to execute the script on the rmote computer, I get :

Userprofile : C:\Documents and Settings\Default User
AppData :


The user name used to loggin on the remote computer is "Administrateur", of course Wink

Is it a bug ?
