Batch file help

[Feist Computers]

Been looking around for hours. I have my own computer repair shop in a small town/city with about 10 competitors. I always drop my email - website - online scheduling site one the desktop. Well coming into virus season soon . Winter and my old man who is 80 wants to help, keep his mind going. So I got Techwaru for him to make it as automated as possible. Its getting to the point where I may need to hire but I'm hanging on the edge hoping my dad can give me a hand and help him have something to live for. Ok so I want to automate dropping my icons on desktop, also bring up IE manage add-ons window, and automatically run widows auto update. I have no experience in batch files but know they can do a great job. Any help appreciated.

So far what do you think of Techwaru, I mean would it be worth it to you if you didn't need it for your father? As far as scripts go I'm not good at myself and have used some here on TN and on http://fixitscripts.com

Actually it is handy. I don't have to go look and click on tools. Saves time for sure. I'm still trying to tweak it and get the bugs out with custom Run Lists. But I think it's worth it. 25$ a month. Makes sure you don't forget anything or lose your place.
