If you mean, is folders available for adding files to desktop, from within $OEM$, then yes. Create a $DOCS folder inside $OEM$ folder. Then create within the $DOCS folder, 2 foldors, All Users and Default User. Within those folders, you can create Desktop folders.

On your second question, I noticedyou have

UnattenedSwitch="Yes" it should be UnattendSwitch = "Yes"

You could execute a vbScript like this:

'Create Windows Explorer Desktop icon

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop")

Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\Explorer.lnk")

link.Arguments = "/n,/e,c:\"

link.Description = "Explorer link"

link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E"

link.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe"

link.TargetPath = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe"

link.WindowStyle = 1

link.WorkingDirectory = "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"

link.Save

To create icons on the desktop too.
