Pin Calc to Start Menu on Remote Computers

I need to be able to Pin the Calculator to the start menu on around 60 remote
computers, is there some way of doing this?

Some script maybe?
 
Yeah I've seen this and I can run this from the command prompt using csript
or wscript on my local machine, but I need some way of running a batch file
type thing where I can run it on a number of remote pc's
 
Yeah we could do it that way, but I though it would be just as easy to run a
one off script that looped through and ran my pin_calc.vbs script on each pc
in a list.

Just not sure how to do this??
 
I don't have outlook express so is there somewhere in the online newsgroups I
can find the WMI section?
 
Windows Script Host

WshRemote Object
See Also
WshController Object

Language
a.. JScript

b.. VBScript

c.. Show All



Provides access to the remote script process.

Remarks
The WshRemote object allows you to remotely administer computer systems on a computer network. It represents an instance of a WSH script, i.e., a script file with one of the following extensions: .wsh, .wsf, .js, ..vbs, .jse, .vbe, and so on. An instance of a running script is a process. You can run the process either on the local machine or on a remote machine. If you do not provide a network path, it will run locally. When a WSHRemote object is created (by using the CreateScript() method), the script is copied to the target computer system. Once there, the script does not begin executing immediately; it begins executing only when the WSHRemote method Execute is invoked. Through the WshRemote object interface, your script can manipulate other programs or scripts. Additionally, external applications can also manipulate remote scripts. The WshRemote object works asynchronously over DCOM.

Example
The following example demonstrates how the WshRemote object is used to start a remote script.

[VBScript]
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver")
RemoteScript.Execute

Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop[JScript]
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");
var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver");
RemoteScript.Execute();

while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {
WScript.Sleep(100);

How'd that happen? Surely you have *something* that can handle
