VBS script for deleting shortcuts on All Users Desktop

[genesis]

Hi

 

I have 4 different shortcuts that is on All users desktop on 300PC. I would like to delete them .

I thought of adding a .Vbs file on the shutdown script in the GPO, so that it deletes the shortcuts when the PC is restarted.

 

I am planning to place under computer configuration - Policies-Windows Settings-Scripts- Shutdown

Hope this way will work.

 

Please post me the syntax to do

Thanks in advance

I would try the modern way of doing it if I was you

I would also deploy it properly in the first place, then you won't have to remove the shortcut.

I tried this from Student workstation OU - Shortcut policy- Computer configuration-preferences-windows settings-shortcuts.

Create a new shortcut with the same name on the desktop shortcut and in the action-Delete

Name- Shortcut1

Target type:URL

Location:All Users desktop

 

For some reason the shortcuts are not getting deleted.

So thought a VBS script would do this job.

 

Thanks
