I would like the syntax for deleting a shortcut, via a batch file, off many users WinXP Pro desktop. I do not know how to reference a shortcut nor do I know how to reference the different user's profiles. I will push out the file via Novell Zenworks, but am lost on the syntax. Could someone please fill in the blanks? DEL C:\"Documents and Settings"\???????\Desktop\???????.
