Create Desktop Shortcut on Remote PC?

Asked by yokai in Python Scripting Language

I will be copying a folder from my PC to multiple remote PC on my network via a Python script.  This folder contains an application and a shortcut to the application.  Is it possible to copy that shortcut to the remote user's desktop once the folder itself is on their C: drive?

I realize this may be difficult as we are in a networking environment and the desktop folder resides under:
c:\documents and settings\firstname.lastname\desktop

Is it possible to grab that remote user name from my own PC and use it in the code as a variable?Start Free Trial
