[wpkg-users] Batch file not working

that's a problem, indeed. If I remember well, some time ago people on 
this list used two wpkg systems - one for WPKG client as system service,
and one for the logon script - to get things done.

So the easiest script would do the following (schematically):

loop thru all %userprofile%..\* folders as %i
   if exist %i\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles.ini
      get name of real folder from profiles.ini as %j
      delete 
%i\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\%j\extensions\{42b649d0-62e0-11da-8cd6-0800200c9a66}
   end if
endloop

Instead of "get name of real folder from profiles.ini ..." you could 
loop thru all folders within thunderbird\Profiles\, this should do 
pretty much the same as there is usually only one profile folder in.

HTH,
