Is there a way either via group policy or a script to add an icon to all my
users desktops?
I do not want to set a standard desktop just add some icons.
I know I can add an icon to the all users or default users but how can I do
this remotely?

Thank you

A couple of ways to do this include using the CreateShortcut method of
VBScript. Or try Marty List's cool tool Shortcut v. 1.11
http://optimumx.com/download/#Shortcut


This VBScript would create a shortcut to a mapped drive 'S:\'
--------------------------
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop")
set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\S Drive.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "S:\"
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1
oShellLink.IconLocation = "explorer.exe, 1"
oShellLink.Description = "Network S Drive"
oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = "S:\"
oShellLink.Save
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set oShellLink = Nothing
--------------------------

Also WSH 5.6 documentation download at
