[wplug] Exploder to Fire Fox

[Vanco, Don]

Not sure how far-reaching your intentions are with this as far as an "install base" goes, but hopefully you're very aware of what sites your users use with regularity and have tested extensively as FireFox is really not fully baked just yet.  There is no FTP functionality, and no mail/newsgroup tool.  Also, there are some ISP dialers out there (like those from NetZero/Juno/UnitedOn-Line) that will continually set the default browser back to IE.  If your users use OWA they will _hate_ anything other than IE (but FireFox deals with it better than Mozilla), particularly if the Exchange server(s) is/are  5.5 or >.  I don't find myself "needing" IE very often, but sadly I still do for a site or two, and frankly as a "quick browsing FTP client" it's pretty good (albeit lousy at managing actual downloads).  Rumor has is the IE in XP-SP2 is pretty much "all new", perhaps MS has finally brought it past 1998 functionally.....
 
YMMV

	I have a samba server acting as a domain controller. Is there a way that
	I can Have a script that delete the shortcuts on the desktop,quicklaunch
	and startmenu for Internet Exploder. At the same time installing Mozilla
	Fire Fox. Maybe like a little vbscript or something that gets ran from
	the server when they login.
	I was also thinking of doing it this way . I have a proxy server in the
	network , I can redirect all users to a site and run a script to do it.
	But that would take the knowledge to create the virus like script and I
	would have to get around the priveledges I have set for my users.
	Creating script = learnable
	Changing Privs = pain in the rear
