Really the only way to do this is through scripts (either startup or logon, depending upon where you want the shortcuts to land). The TechNet scripting center has some sample vbscript code for creating shortcuts on the fly or you can simply pre-create the .lnk files and then use scripts to copy them into the various user profile locations (e.g. desktop, Start Menu, etc.) where you want them to appear.
