      HTH

Status: offline 		I'm trying to do the same with the "My Documents" folder found on the user's desktop but the script I'm using simply creates another My Documents.

'Creates desktop Icon on current users Desktop
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktopFolder = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set objShortCut = objShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktopFolder & _
"\My Documents.lnk")
objShortCut.TargetPath = "\\data1\users\%username%"
objShortCut.Description = "User Home Drive."
objShortCut.HotKey = "Ctrl+Shift+H"
objShortCut.Save


Anyone know of a workaround?

When I copy your code into notepad and run it everything works fine. Are you getting an error message when you run the script?

No I dont get an error message. I just end up with two My Documents on the desktop. This is certainly going to confuse my users.
