Inserting a Desktop Shortcut

[raythefire]

I have a network all with XP Pro Workstations. I wish users to view an interactive presentation that is on the server. How do it install this on the workstations without having to go to each one and install individually.

You can give your users the network address of where the presentation is located and let them start the presentation from there. The presentation is then loaded onto the workstation and starts playing. Watch out that not too many users start the presentation at the same time or you'll have a massive network traffic.

You can also create a shortcut of the presentation by right clicking on your own desktop and selecting New->shortcut and then browse to the server where the presentation is located and save the shortcut. Then copy this shortcut to the desktop of the workstations by accessing the C-drive of the workstation from your own machine. To do this the workstation must be sharing it's C-drive or a part of it and you must be granted to access the workstation but if you're administrator you should be able to access it. Then copy the shortcut to the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

You have to do this for every workstation.

Good luck.
