If you just want to copy an exe file to the desktop of a user depending on group membership you can do it through a script pushed through group policy. <br />
The following will help you copy the file:<br />
<a href="http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine/ezine36.htm" rel="ugc">http://www.computerperform<wbr />ance.co.uk<wbr />/ezine/ezi<wbr />ne36.htm</a><br />
This will help you to do it by group membership:<br />
<a href="http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_group_membership.htm" rel="ugc">http://www.computerperform<wbr />ance.co.uk<wbr />/Logon/log<wbr />on_group_m<wbr />embership.<wbr />htm</a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Add the script in the group policy under User Configuration/Windows Settings/Scrips/Logon. Make sure you place the script in the netlogon share and &nbsp;reference it from the network share (ie. <a href="http://file://%3cserver%3e/netlogon" rel="ugc">\\&lt;server&gt;\netlogon</a> not c:\folder\etc\)<br />
I hope this helps. Good luck.<br />

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
