Does anyone know how to add desktop shortcuts (icons) for e.g..Adobe Acrobat,
Word, etc via Group Policy for all users?

If anyone has any code to show me on how to do this i would be very grateful.

Thanks.

Also to add to this problem...i wish the icons to be made available for "All
user" (profile folder).

Thanks again!

Computer Startup Script. There is no CSE from MS to do that.
You can copy link to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\desktop.
Usally you cant do that in a user login script because of NTFS
permissions on the All Users Profile.

Could you do something similar to add connections shortcuts to the My
Network Places folder?
