Batch File - Copy Shortcut to User's Desktop 1

[SHardy]

Hi,

I have a batch file to be run by certain users here to update certain files. One of the files that I want to copy is a shortcut to be copied to each user's desktop.

What is the variable to be used for the current username?
How do I use this to copy the shortcut to the user's desktop within their local profile?

Thanks,
Simon

I am sure that the variable would be %username%

I would guess you would do something like :-

copy cbackslash...sorry, crappy keyboard can't find the backslash)shortcut.lnk c*)Windows(*)Profiles(*)%username%(*)desktop

or where ever your profiles are being stored.
