How do I push items from my server to my users desktop with one command

I'm looking for a way to make a standard desktop for all users. Basically I just want to make a shortcut on all of the desktops to the network drive and put a single file on the desktop.

I'm using server 2003 for my server, and all my machines are running windows xp

how about making all shortcuts on one users(not server) computer manually, and then copy all of the shortcuts to a flash drive/floppy/cd something(preferably flash drive because of its simplicity,speed, and compatibility) and then put the shortcuts onto the other users desktops? it would be simple, i dont know about any commands with shortcuts though...

As Joedeene has suggested, you can do this by writing a batch (.bat file) or a VB or JS Script which will copy your shortcuts into "Desktop" folder of each user you specify.

Writing Batch file is very easy (you just need to know basic DOS commands) and VB Script is written in VB-like language.


Hope it helps.
