NOOB - Scripting to make an App work

Hello everyone.

i work in a school and i ran into an application today that is a real pickle. i know how to make it work, but i would need to script it. The way to make it work would be to have a script check each local user profile on login, see if the directory already exists, do nothing if it does, and copy it from a pre-determined location if it doesn't.

for what it's worth, i'm sorry for asking such a basic question, but my district doesn't have the resources to pay a contractor to script this, and i don't know scripting :-(

thanks for reading!
