I am trying to copy a file to all 30 of my WIndows XP
workstations desktop with my login script when they log in
and I am having some trouble doing so. I believe it is
the spaces in the Documents and Settings path I have to
send it to to get it to my desktop. Any ideas how I might
get something copied from my shared drive on my server to
my XP workstations desktop?

It would be useful for you to show the command that
you used. In its absence I have to guess what you're
trying to do. Here are a couple of possibilities:

copy /y \\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFolder\SomeFile
"%UserProfile%\Desktop"

copy /y \\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFolder\SomeFile
"%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop"
