| If you’re pushing the file to Vista/Server 2008/Windows 7 computers, you need to be aware of the *strange* way profiles have changed! To add a file to the “allusers” desktop, the destination you want is C:\ProgramData\Desktop
That’s a lot simpler than adding a startup program; that would go in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu\Programs\Startup !!! Who thinks up these ideas?! (I detect the influence of magic mushrooms, Koolaid...or both) HTH Nick

| I'm sorry .. forget to mention that clients are windows 2003 .
i am doing like this.
using GPP ->user configuration -> preferences -> windows settings -> file
-> new -> create ->
Source files :- \\fileshare\share\test.cmd
Destination file:- %DesktopDir%
After logon I’m not able to see the file on the desktop.
Please let me know if I’m making any mistake in the process.

| Note that %desktopdir% doesn't resolve to anything unless you've created that somehow on the target systems.
