To give you a little background as to what I'm trying to do. Our company uses Thunderbird for the default mail client. There is a problem with the mimetypes.rdf file located in each local user profile on each PC. From what I've gathered it's a known problem for certain mime types.

Anyway, we've come up with a fix/change to the mimetypes.rdf file that seems to work for our situation. I have ~75 PCs I need to deploy this out to. I'd like to do it using our log on script and a batch file.

I'm more or less a novice at writing batch files, so take it easy on me. If there is a better for what I'm trying to accomplish PLEASE let me know.

My thought process is to use something along the following to make this work:

cd C:\documents and settings\%username%\thunderbird\profiles
attrib /s mimetypes.rdf

Then use the DIRECTORY gained form above in a VARIABLE of some sort so I have a location to copy the fixed mimetypes.rdf file.

The reason I must use attrib /s mimetypes.rdf is because the profile directory for thunderbird is DIFFERENT, just as it is with firefox. Environmental variable or something, I can't remember now. So it's not the same directory on any PC or for any user.

If SOMEONE could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
