Alright so I found the problem, I had to put shortcut.exe in the same folder as psexec.exe and change the location of the command line to where they where located so; X:\Utilities\PsTools>psexec \\hostname -c shortcut -t C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe -n "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Test" Anyhow, so I want to run this from a batch file so I can feed in the list of around 70 "hostnames" and it will run on each, any ideas??
