Hi Wayne,
We have same situation here where we need a shortcut to a URL on
everyone's desktop. Rather than using GPO's we call a vbs file from
within everyone's login script - hope the below helps:
Replace Yahoo.url with the label you wish to give the icon and replaced
the TargetPath with the required URL
-------------------------------
Set WshSh1 = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DesktopFolder = WshSh1.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set UrlShortcut = WshSh1.CreateShortcut(DesktopFolder + "\\Yahoo.url")
UrlShortcut.TargetPath = "http://www.yahoo.com";
UrlShortcut.Save
-------------------------------
Ian

Hi, i just want to start off with saying thanks for all the helpful
information this group has provided the last few years.
The problem im having:
trying to put a URL on all the users desktop, when they log in ( for
example: www.yahoo.com).
In a Windows 2003 domain with 70% XP sp2 and 30% WIN2K clients. In GP, i
add a user config. under admin. templates, desktop then active desktop.
ADD/DELETE items, Enter URL:
This didnt work, and it always showed up under filtering not applied
(empty).
So i went back and added loopback with merge, and it says it applied but
nothing on the desktop and now all the computer releated GP's get
filtered for the test user.
I thought this was an easy process for a simple procedure, but not
working like that.
Thanks
