VB Login Script Change drive Mapping

Let me start out by saying I'm very weak in vbscripting. Ok, here is what I need to do. I need a login script that will edit the following registry key: HKEY_Current_User\Network. I'm in the process of migrating from one file server to another and a lot of my users have manual drive mapping. I need to script to detect the old server name and replace it with the new server name while keeping the same drive letter. So it's transparent to the user. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the lack of information. I have 95 desktops, 80 are running Windows XP professional 15 are still running Windows 2000 professional. I still have a NT 4.0 domain, which I'm currently in the process of migrating. So connecting to each of these desktop wouldn't be very efficient. Renaming the servers would be great but isn't an option for me either. Is there some way in the VB script you can tell it to look at the remote path in the registry and use an 'if' statement? So if old_server_name is present change to new_server_name????

Thanks the the feed back everyone. In my efforts of having a low impact on the end users enviroment may quest for a script to move user from one server to another have become very complex. I have to admit some of the VB replys are way beyond my VB script knownledge. I'm most likely going to send out a batch script that will disconnect everyones mapped drive then reconnect them to a different drive letter. This way everyone will have uniform network drive mappings.
