GPO Shortcuts

[site4sure]

Hi,

Is there any way to have GPO download certain shortcuts that I specify onto the users desktop when they log on. Like a shortcut to our document root, a shortcut to the Active Directory etc..??

Try this, but make sure you put in the correct shortcut names....

' VBScript.
Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\what it will say on the desktop.lnk")
link.Arguments = ""
link.Description = "Shorcut to ???? folder"
link.HotKey = ""
link.IconLocation = "explorer.exe,1"
link.TargetPath = "\\server\folder"
link.WindowStyle = 3
link.WorkingDirectory = "\\server\folder"
link.Save

Put this in your GPO's logon script (for users), and the "shortcuts" will appear "magically".
