Using Scripts to Map Shortcuts

I assume that the user PC is doing the Xcopy in your script. If I'm right, then the "aa_data_server" has to have a share called "database" with security permissions that allow the "logged in" user to access it. Is this is what you have ?

In other words, If the user types: "\\aa_data_server\database\loginscript\" in a browser's URL, will he be able to see the file "AA Database.exe"?

Thanks for responding S0lo - much appreciated.

I'm testing this with my access and I have admin rights. The database is a share and I have rights to that and I can see it in a url.

I keep getting the following when I execute it in prompt.

Z:\>xcopy "\\aa_data_server\database\loginscript\AA Database.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\Miah_as\Desktop"
File not found - AA Database.lnk
0 File(s) copied

Z:\>

Any more help would be great

Thanks in advance

It works!!!

Thanks S0lo -

Very much appreciate the help.

I had all the icons in a folder within the database share - as soon as I move them out of that folder - it worked.

Thanks again

Take care

Great , You are welcome. Not that I've helped or done any thing.

Yes you did S0lo

This is where I went wrong

script =

This is what I was doing:

\\aa_data_server\database\distribrn

the folder distribrn was not showing in the url when I typed it in - as you mentioned in your response -

I move the icons out of that folder and it worked. so I shared the distribrn folder.

thanks again.

regards

I see. Now I got it.
