Is there a space in the UNC string? ...\sub folder\... If there is, enclose the file in quotes.

But I'm getting the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Any ideas where to look now?

Should do it, don't forget the "quotes" around "c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\shortcut.lnk" in your batch file ... you might put in an attribute-change line just in case the (l)user has protected the shortcut for some strange reason: attrib -r " c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\shortcut.lnk" The only problem might be if this is an "All Users" shortcut, in which case you would need admin rights to delete the old one. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 ~!
