Well call me a nono, but so far I'm unsuccesful in copying these shortcuts.
When I use xcopy to copy a shortcut it creates a folder with a target.lnk file in it. The shortcut then doesn't function anymore.
The goal of this all is to supply users with the shortcuts to network resources they need to have access to. So some users need to get more shortcuts then others depending on their profile. Either the shortcuts are created per user at logon, or centrally stored shortcuts are distributed to users folders whichever is the most efficient/feasable.
Using folder shortcuts solves the problem of users being able to see folders they don't have access to. This is a big disadvantage of Windows. Novell offers the Filescan permission that MS lacks.
