I am looking for a way to delete duplicate icons (usually web links). &nbsp;I have rolled out some kix scripts through group policy to push icons to desktops based on computer and user id. &nbsp;My first attempt did not do what I wanted (because of permissions) and the second attempt mostly works (again a permission issue I will be fixing with a program purchase to package the kix into an executable that will run with different credentials.)<br />

With these attempts I have created duplicates and in some cases triplicates of a group of icons. &nbsp;Is there any way to clear this up without wiping user placed icons. &nbsp;All of the icons exist in the users profile and not in the AllUsers folder.

How to delete duplicate icons on desktops.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
