So I suspect the problem here is that if you are looking to create dependencies within a given GP processing cycle, you're going to have a hard time. Frankly, I would script both the creation (or copying) of the favorites as well as the moving them to where you want them. You can pre-create .lnk files, put them on a server and then copy them to where you need them, if you want.

I have a problem where the script seems to be firing off first and then the favorites get produced. I have tried moving around the link order and that really doesn't help me out much. The links seem to populate the desktop after the user logs on a second time. Does anyone have an explanation on why this occurs? Is there a way to get the Favorites established first and then fire off the script?
