        Thanks. That one talks a lot about roaming profiles. There is a post that deals with some bat files copying stuff at login. I will look more into that to see if it can do what I need.

          Just curious, when you chose UPD, did you choose to store all settings or just certain folders?

              Some applications don't play nicely with roaming profiles.

                UPDs mount at the usual C:\Users\user.name and the applications can't tell a difference.

                  Right. But, only when the user is logged in. After they logout, that path doesn't exist. I am trying to figure out how to work around that for adding the custom (for each user) erp shortcut on their desktop in their session.

                    Add the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
                    That way it will always show up on each user Desktop.

                      This would be nice and easy, but each user has a custom shortcut- It has a workstation ID in the target path.

                        Create a script that creates the shortcut each user Desktop and append the workstation id in the target path.
