Hi Just one more thought, if you need the icons on the desktop instead/ as well as the start menu, you could use the Custom Installation Wizard from the Office Res kit to create an .MST file. This will allow you to specify which icons appear on the desktop.

Thanks for your answer ! The problem I am seeing is that the short cut is not placed on the desktop. We need to use roaming profiles, hoewer the user does not need all the software installed on all worksations she/he eventually logs on. We want that the application to be installed only when the user needs it. ie. click on the short cut or file extension linked to the application Regards Nico Giardina > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: Callow, David [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Verzonden: dinsdag 22 januari 2002 16:37 > Aan: NT 2000 Discussions > Onderwerp: RE: GPO > > Nico > Ooops sorry about the name, Dohh.
