Great for onboarding new station, you can grab any other short cuts such as to shared rive, or network folders, the users C drive or the my documents folder as well, I just did the office apps.

$Officepath = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Winword.exe\Path")


$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Desktop\Excel.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Excel.exe"
$Shortcut.Save()

$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Desktop\Outlook.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Outlook.exe"
$Shortcut.Save()

$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Desktop\Word.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Winword.exe"

Darn, missed the fact that I was in session 0, ooops my bad, this should add to all active users.

 

$Officepath = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Winword.exe\Path")


$Profiles = Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList' | ForEach-Object { $_.GetValue('ProfileImagePath') }

foreach ($profile in $profiles -match "Users" -notmatch "spfarm" -notmatch "spsearch" -notmatch "TEMP" -notmatch "Classic"){


$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Profile\Desktop\Excel.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Excel.exe"
$Shortcut.Save()

$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Profile\Desktop\Outlook.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Outlook.exe"
$Shortcut.Save()

$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Profile\Desktop\Word.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Winword.exe"
$Shortcut.Save()
