I would like to be able to force certain shortcuts to some of my users
desktops?

I have looked into Desktop Folder redirection to a read-only share and
that doesn't seem to fit my needs(still need to give users the ability
to add/remove their own shortcuts). Mandatory profiles won't work at
all. I just need a place where I can create the shortcuts and then push
that out to my users via GPO. Am I asking to much? Have any other ideas?

You might try creating a share (Place your shortcuts in here) and using a
login script to copy the contents of this share to the users desktop.

For the copy I would need to know the username, but would this work?

copy \\server\share\shortcuts "c:\documents and
setttings\%username%\desktop\"

even better...

copy \\server\share\shortcuts\* "%userprofile%"\desktop

Thanks for the idea. I tried it with my computer and it should do what I
need.
