copy url onto user's desktop

[Guest Calvin C.]

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

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\"

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.
