Subject: Windows Settings via VBS

Question
I have a request from a coworker to develop a script that will:

1. Set/change the Windows Desktop background to "none"

2. Set screensaver to none

3. Set appearance (scheme) to Windows Standard

----------------
On another note, they would love to be able to set some Internet Explorer settings via script.
Specifically:

1. Delete Temporary Internet file (including offline content)
2. Clear history
3. Set the "Check for newer versions of stored pages to "every visit to the page."
-------------------

They conduct training and must configure 15-20 machines this way. This would save them a great deal of time.

They are working on Win2000 machines.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
