Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I am positive during my
testing that I was able to sned an icon to a users desktop using a GPO.
i.e. I need to have an icon for our local intranet (which is nothing more
then a browser link saved to the desktop) appear on everyones desktop. but
the icons path is \\servername\share\folder\something.htm.
I can add it to the Links folder of IE but darn it I can't remember how to
place it on the desktop.

HELP! I am losing the few precious brain cells I have. Thanks

you could probably create a user logon script to copy the file for you. try
this one out (obviously you will need to edit the share path and file name)

if exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\something.htm" go to
END
copy \\servername\share\folder\something.htm "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop"
:END
EXIT

this should copy the file to everyones desktop.

Hey thanks, is that a .bat, .vbs, etc script?
