Re: Greets 1 problem with auto creating shortcuts...

This should work. You may need to change the app it points to unless you want to make a shortcut to notepad on the desktop.

You will need to paste the wshshortcut UDF in the script or call it from the script
wshShortcut() - v1.3 - Create File & Web Shortcuts

Code:

Break on

If InGroup("groupname")
	$rc=wshShortcut("Notepad","%systemroot%\system32\notepad.exe")
EndIf

The first part creates drive mappings and has nothing to do with wshshortcut. It will work with all apps even if they are on network drives, external drives, CD/DVD's, etc... If the path to the app is the correct path it will work.

This will create an icon on the desktop for each user in the group you check on. It recreates the shortcut at each logon to be sure it point to the correct app and path.

This is an example of a script that recreates the shortcut on every logon when the user is in the specified group.
You should copy all the code from the first post into this script or into a separate file, save it somewhere (in the same folders as the script would be nice and add this call @scriptdir + "\wshshortcut.kix" to the script.

Code:

Break on

If InGroup("groupname")
	$rc=wshShortcut("Notepad","%systemroot%\system32\notepad.exe")
EndIf

[edit]
Removed the long line. Ripped out the entire UDF and put in an explanation. Thanx for pointing it out Benny
