Desktop/Start Menu Shortcut Addition/Removal Scripts
Hello EE,
I'm short on time, and need an assit in configuring scripts to deploy a new desktop and start menu short cut, as well as remove a start menu shortcut & favorites shortcut, along with a desktop shortcut (within a desktop folder).
Here are the parameters in question for these scripts:
Phase 1 / Job 1
1) Shortcut to add to %all users% desktop: "ADP Portal" (https://portal.adp.com)
2) Shortcut to add into %all users% desktop (folder) named "Corporate Shortcuts": "ADP Portal" (https://portal.adp.com)
3) Shortcut to add to %all users% start menu (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\CSA\) : "ADP Portal" (https://portal.adp.com)
4) Shortcut to add to all users favorites (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites\): "ADP Portal" (https://portal.adp.com)
Phase 2 / Job 2 (to be execute the following day)
1) REMOVE/DELETE the following shortcuts from within the %all users% desktop (folder) named "Corporate Shortcuts": "iPAY-adp" AND/OR "ADP-iPAY" (https://ipay.adp.com), "ezLabor" AND/OR "ADP ezLabor" (http://workforceportal.elabor.com/) and "HRB" (https://home.eease.com/login/)
2) REMOVE/DELETE the following shortcuts from the %all users% startmenu (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\CSA\) : "ADP ezLabor" AND "ADP-iPAY"
3) REMOVE/DELETE the following shortcuts from the %all users% favorites folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites\) : "iPAY-adp" AND/OR "ADP-iPAY" (https://ipay.adp.com), "ezLabor" AND/OR "ADP ezLabor" (http://workforceportal.elabor.com/) and "HRB" (https://home.eease.com/login/).
Requesting guidance and validation on what I have working thus far within the code snippets.
Thank you s much in advanced!

Code Snippet:
What I will be using thus far:
1) Copy the new icon over to the local machine(s)(BATCH):
xcopy "\\network path\adpportal.ico" "%systemroot%\icons" /C /H /R /Y
2) Place desktop shortcut (VBS):
'CreateSC.vbs
Dim objShell:Set objShell=CreateObject("Wsc
strLogonServer = objShell.ExpandEnvironment
strAllUsersDesktop = objShell.ExpandEnvironment
Dim objSC: Set objSC=objShell.CreateShort
With objSC
.WorkingDirectory="https://portal.adp.com" (?)
.TargetPath="http:"https://portal.adp.com" (?)
.IconLocation =""%systemroot%\icons\adpp
.Save
End With
Set objSC=Nothing
Set objShell=Nothing
3) To add the startmenu shortcut?? (VBS):
Const ADMINISTRATIVE_TOOLS = 6
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Applic
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(CSA)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScr
strDesktopFld = objFolderItem.Path
Set objURLShortcut = objShell.CreateShortcut(st
objURLShortcut.TargetPath = "http://www.example.com"
objURLShortcut.Save
OR SHOULD IT BE (Batch):
xcopy "\\C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\(newlink from above).lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\CSA" /C /H /R /Y
(Same for the allusers favorites folder below?)
xcopy "\\C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\(newlink from above).lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\favorites" /C /H /R /Y
For the Removal Process, remove shortcuts/icons from the "Corporate Shortcuts" desktop folder (all users) on the local machine(s)(BATCH)::
@echo off
setlocal
set files="iPAY-adp.lnk" "ADP-iPAY.lnk" "ADP-iPAY.lnk" "ezLabor.lnk" "ADP ezLabor.lnk" "HRB.lnk"
for %%G in (%files%) do del /f /s /q "%allusersprofile%\..\%%~G
exit
TO REMOVE OLD <ALL> SHORTCUTS?:
(for the desktop "corporate shortcuts" folder, favorites, and startmenu?)
@ECHO OFF
Del /Q /S /F" %ALLUserprofile%\desktop\c
Del /Q /S /F" %ALLUserprofile%\desktop\c
etc etc..
Del /Q /S /F" %ALLUserprofile%\favorites
etc etc..
Del /Q /S /F" %ALLUserprofile%\Start Menu\CSA\ezLabor.lnk"
etc etc..
END
