Altiris SVS Tools

Thursday, 15 June 2006 by Michel Roth

Here's a collection of three VBS scripts by Tim Perkins to enhance SVS:

I really like SVS, so I decided to make some VBScripts that would make my life just a wee bit easier. These scripts are my first (ever) attempt at coding in VBScript. I normally script in Perl or PHP, so if you're a developer and you peep the source, don't throw up! Realize that I constructed these tools by doing a lot of "Googling," so if you have any hints/suggestions, feel free to contact me.

Currently, Tim's Handy SVS Tools consist of three .VBS files.

1. Layerizor.vbs is for launching a "non-virtualized app" in a layer.
2. LayeredAppLauncher.vbs is a VBScript made for those who absolutely hate how when you Activate/Deactivate a layer your shortcuts get all messed up. It will check if a file is available, then if it's not, it will ask you if you'd like to activate the application's inactive layer and launch the app.
3. SendTo Scratch Layer.vbs allows you to right click on an executable and use the SendTo feature of Windows.
