Powerhouse Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Trying to get rid of Desktop links on specific users. I use the following code for all users, but that doesn't seem to work...DEL "%Allusersprofile%\desktop\WinZip.lnk"However, if I use this code...DEL "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\desktop\WinZip.lnk"It works.So my question is, what is the code to use to get rid of the Desktop links, for any user logged on.

aresgodofwar Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 drop down to a command prompt. type set and press enter. make sure that allusersprofile is still listed as a system variable. if it's not there, that would be your problem. if it is, then make sure the path that is associated with it is correct.

Powerhouse Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 Sweet, that's what I needed to know. Funny thing is, I thought I was using %userprofile% before but was having some problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
