You can do this via login script (vbs) using a reg key

or via GPO

"User Configuration/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer Maintenance/URLs".
Double click "Favorites and Links".
Select "Favorites" and click "Add URL". Name it whatever you would like and type file:\\\C:\Documents and Settings\All UsersDesktop into to the URL: field.
Select OK and you're finished
