I see that your working with VBS commands, sometimes a different animal, but I've used the following batch file command successfully on Windows 7 labs:
copy "%allusersprofile%\start menu\programs\STAR READING\STAR Reading - Student.lnk" "%allusersprofile%\desktop\STAR Reading - Student.lnk" /y It goes after the profile folder and then appends desktop onto it instead of going straight to the desktop, maybe that makes a difference. One thing to note, we do have UAC turned off on all our images. To many simple things didn't work with that turned on... like mapping drive letters in a login script!

Microsoft changed the whole directory structure and the script I had to do this in XP no longer works - specifically the SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop") command. I know we can accomplish the same thing by copying the shortcut to the C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder, but that is a hidden folder and it seems the CopyFile command doesn't see hidden folders. Any suggestions? Thanks! Thomas C. Steele Technology Director Manteno CUSD #5 250 N Poplar Manteno, IL 60950 ph: (815)928-7006 fx: (815)468-6439
