If one .lnk file works for everybody, I guess copying is OK. You can create
them with .vbs too:
------
dim shell, shortcut, shortcutfile, userenv
set shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set userenv=shell.Environment("USER")
shortcutfile = shell.specialfolders("desktop") +"\shortcut.lnk"
Set shortcut = shell.CreateShortcut(shortcutfile)
shortcut.TargetPath = "C:\Program Files\app\app.exe"
shortcut.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Program Files\app"
' other parameters:
' shortcut.Arguments = ""
' shortcut.Description = "Appname"
' shortcut.HotKey = "ALT+CTRL+F"
' shortcut.IconLocation = "C:\Program Files\app\app.exe,2"
' shortcut.WindowStyle = "1"
shortcut.Save

Subject: Question for all you gurus
I need to replace a shortcut on all my users' desktops. My thinking is to
include this in the login script. Is this possible? Is it a matter of the
following:
Del c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\shortcut.lnk
Copy \\servername\share\newshortcut.lnk
<file:///\\servername\share\newshortcut.lnk> c:\documents and
settings\%username%\desktop\shortcut.lnk
Is it that simple, or am I truly a noob?
