The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

New some scripting help

Asked by Geisrud in Scripting Languages

Tags: vbs, scripting, copy file

I'm a complete novice at scripting and could use some help.  I've found and adjusted the attached script and it does 90% of what I need it to do.  The file is currently saved to my desktop as file.vbs

My end goal is to create a desktop shortcut on a computer and have it use a certain icon of my choice.  So far I can create the icon and use the icon - assuming the icon is where I want it to be.  

Still missing is getting my icon to where it needs to be.

The short version: I need to add to the attached script, language to copy an icon file from here: "\\server\folder\file.ico"  to here:"c:\system32\windows\file.ico

Much thanks.
