Well, that depends on weather or not you can use a pre-created shortcut or if the shortcut must be built dynamically. As to the latter, a special program designed for this purpose may be needed. However, if the shortcut can be pre-existing then under the admin login just copy the shortcut to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop folder and that should be it. I hope this helps.
