I have a Windows 10 Dell SFF. &nbsp;I am trying to add Chrome Shortcuts to the c:\users\public\desktop. &nbsp;When I log in with a user having local administrator rights I do the following:<br />
1. Go to Chrome<br />
2. Add preferred URL<br />
3. I create a shortcut<br />
4. The shortcut appears on the desktop<br />
5. I copy the shortcut to the c:\users\public\desktop folder ( I now have two on this desktop, one local and one public)<br />
6. I log out of this user<br />
7. I log in with a new user<br />
8. The shortcuts appear on the desktop without an icon<br />
9. They also have a strange path<br />
10. The shortcuts open up to a Google Chrome empty page<br />
11. When I look in the c:\users\public\desktop on the new user the same shortcut appears with no icon and does not work<br />
I have actually tried this with a local administrator on the box and they seem to work for that user. &nbsp;<br />
I want these shortcuts to be available for ALL users on the box. &nbsp;<br />
Any help would be appreciated.

Shortcuts not working in the C:\users\public\desktop folder

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
