Not sure what you mean?
Umm go to explorer locate your Domain user through the network Right click on the drive/folder of the User and select create shortcut (to your Desktop) But I think you might be asking how to make Domain Users use Server based folders (like My Documents etc) actually I'm not sure what you mean, other than just creating a shortcut on your Desktop. (you can even manually type it) Oh, they must be logged on and shared ofcourse |

Sorry i didnt explain very well, i work in schools as a technician, im trying to set up shortcuts for programs on certain users on the domain... they log on as say "class1" or "class5" etc. just a quicker way instead of goin round each computer setting up the shortcuts
because certain classes only need certain programs... i know you can use login scripts to do this like you can for mapping drives ive seen this on loads of forums but cant seem to get it to work you create a folder an share it say "logon scripts" for example... put your shortcuts in the folder.... copy the following into notepad: copy "\\Server\Logon Scripts\Short Cut.lnk" "%username%\Desktop" then save it as a ".bat" file into "netlogon" and then link that to your user in activ directory can you see where im going wrong ? thanks again Last edited by Joe Walton; 05-16-2008 at 10:34 AM.. |
