Unfortunately we do not use Roaming profiles, and I would like to use <br />
<br />
&quot;\\server1\testing\testing<wbr />.exe - shortcut&quot; &quot;\\computername\c$\documen<wbr />ts and settings\username\desktop&quot;<wbr /> /y<br />
<br />
but this shortcut needs to be copied on multiple computers on the network. &nbsp;Is this possible?

"\\server1\testing\testing.exe - shortcut" "\\computername\c$\documents and settings\username\desktop" /y

I figured it out, since it is a shortcut, you have to put a .lnk at the end (even though it does not show up when you have the extension visible.)<br />
<br />
copy \\server1\testing\TestTkr.<wbr />exe.lnk &quot;%userprofile%\desktop&quot;<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help!<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a shortcut on a shared folder and I would like to have that shortcut copied to a particular users (example &quot;STUDENT&quot;) desktop. &nbsp;How can I do this?<br />
<br />
the path of the file is \\server1\testing\testing.<wbr />exe - shortcut<br />

or is there a way to have the actual executable be put as a shortcut on that users desktop?

copy shortcut to desktop batch file

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
