Guest Calvin C. Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I simply try to create a logon script to copy an url to each user's desktop. The script is written as below, copy "\\sever\share\Requests Form" "C:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\" "Requests Form" is just a shortcut copied from my favorites. When I run the script, it dosen't copy that url no matter what. However, it works if I try to copy a file, for example test.txt by using the same script like, copy \\sever\share\test.txt "C:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\" What have I missed? Thanks Calvin

Guest MrHusy Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 RE: copy url onto user's desktop Better specify the extension. If it is a shortcut, then its Request Form.lnk .. Or it can be a direct url whth the extension of Request Form.url copy "\\sever\share\Requests Form.url" "C:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\" or copy "\\sever\share\Requests Form.lnk" "C:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\" "Hamdan" wrote: > try calling it "requests_form" > > "Calvin C." wrote: > > > I simply try to create a logon script to copy an url to each user's desktop. > > The script is written as below, > > copy "\\sever\share\Requests Form" "C:\documents and > > settings\%username%\desktop\" > > > > "Requests Form" is just a shortcut copied from my favorites. > > > > When I run the script, it dosen't copy that url no matter what.

Guest Calvin C. Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Re: copy url onto user's desktop Thanks that works. The thing I did wrong is I should have not changed the shortcut file name, Request_form to Request_form.url in the shared directory.
