Hi, I want to place an icon which would be a shortcut for an intranet site on all the user's desktop using group policy. I have searched the group policy but there is nothing which I could use to address my issue. Please help. |

| Re: Placing an icon on desktop using group policy
You could write a new VB logon script that creates the shortcut and use Group Policy to assign the script. The following code should do the trick. Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") Set objShortcut= objShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Simon's new Shortcut.lnk") With objShortcut .TargetPath = "\\server\share\app.exe" .WorkingDirectory = strDesktop .Save |
