Creating a shortcut in a logon script would probably be the best route. There's no 
need to delete it as desktop icons in a user's profile are private to them. An all 
users shortcut can't be created in a normal user's logon script as the user doesn't 
have rights.

        I would think that you would create a script based upon their login 
credentials. That way, you would provide the mapping when they logged in depending 
upon what group they were in. We do that here. If there are group of people, such as 
Finance, we add those people to that group and when they login, check their rights to 
which group and then do the mappings based on that. Then they have access to the 
shares that they need when they are logged in.

        Now, if you want to be slick, just put in their login script to create that 
icon, and when they log out, remove the icon. That way, if someone else with different 
credentials/group logs in, they don't get that icon.

        I have a network folder created for staff members that is called "Backup"  I 
        want to have this folder mounted as a folder on the desktop of the computer 
        they logon to.  Staff members use multiple computers, not always the same 
        one.  How/Where do I create a GP to place a folder on the desktop that is 
        redirected to that network share?
