Does someone have a script that will update or change the URL field of a user's desktop shortcut icon?  I have approx. 200 workstations that may need to have this done. 

2) Does anyone have a script that will remove old versions of VNC?  We have deployed ulta-vnc with the venm console quite successfully but I still have workstations with tight-vnc, win-vnc, etc. 

Thanks in advance.  Any help is very much appreciated.

I agree if there was a simple way to change out shortcuts on desktops that would be great some times you just need to update or add a shortcut to a desktop 

'on error resume next
OPTION EXPLICIT
dim objShell, objFileSystem, strAllUsersDesktop, strShortcutFile, MyShortcut2
Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
Set objFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
StrAllUsersDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop")

strShortcutFile = strAllUsersDesktop & "\Shortcut Title.lnk"
If Not objFileSystem.FileExists(strShortcutFile) Then
    Set MyShortcut2 = objShell.CreateShortcut(strShortcutFile)
    MyShortcut2.TargetPath = "\\server\share\folder"
    MyShortcut2.WorkingDirectory = "C:\"
    MyShortcut2.WindowStyle = 4
    MyShortcut2.IconLocation = "\\server\share\folder\programfile.exe, 0"
    MyShortcut2.Save
End If

That's a basic outline to create a shortcut on the All Users Desktop.  If you want to replace a shortcut that already exists, you can simply change the IF statement.  You need to modify the various fields to indicate the name of the shortcut, the path it points to, the working directory and the icon.

If the shortcut is on the user's desktop then you'll need to modify this as a login script since running from VENM it would change your profile's desktop, not that of the logged in user.  It's hard to automate something that update's the logged-in user's profile.

You can copy the above to a text file, edit it as required, rename it with a .VBS extension.  You can test it on your computer by double-clicking the icon.  If it works, it can be put into VENM as a remote script.
