Hi,

The shortcut would be better hendled by Vbscripting.
I am nto versed with it.

However, I have figured out few links which would address your issue:

http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/script-to-create-shortcut/168582.html

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine/ezine119.htm

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244677

So, you can deploy two logon scripts:
First to address the copy.
Second one the all the user have logged in, then deploy the second script.

Dont deploy them together, as this might delay or error out the shortcut incase there is file transfer delay.

As a test, launch them them from a desktop before setting them as a startup or logon script.

Hope this helps!!
