Creating shortcuts on multiple accounts desktops

We are creating standalone systems for kids to use. We want to set them up using our administrators account and then create another account that has restrictions/parental controls in place. After that we want to copy only the shortcuts that they can use to the desktop. Problem is, how do you do this? How can you copy or create shortcuts under one account and get them on another accounts desktop?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • How to list all .URL shortcuts on multiple computers desktops

    I've been searching to find a Powershell script that polls a list of computer names and then returns a list of the .URL shortcuts along with their targets from the logged in users desktop.
    Does anyone know if there is one out there or at least point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    $strComputer = Get-Content C:\ps\test.txt
    function Get-DesktopShortcuts
    $Shortcuts = Get-ChildItem -Recurse ~\desktop\ -Include *.url
    $Shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
    foreach ($computer in $strComputer)
    foreach ($Shortcut in $Shortcuts)
    $Properties = @{
    Computer = $computer.Name
    ShortcutName = $Shortcut.Name
    Target = $Shell.CreateShortcut($Shortcut).targetpath
    New-Object PSObject -Property $Properties
    [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Shell) | Out-Null
    $Output = Get-DesktopShortcuts
    $Output
    $Output | Export-Csv C:\ps\shortcut.csv
    This is what I've put together but seems to only show a single url for each computer even though I know there are multiple .url files on the desktop for each computer. Plus it is outputting only google.com shortcuts. Hmmm

  • Hard to create shortcuts in Users\Public\Desktop

    Hi all,
    I can't find this documented anywhere...
    When I browse to %SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Desktop in Windows Explorer, the right-click "Paste shortcut" command generates the following error message:
    Windows can't create a shortcut here.
    Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?
    In addition, the "Create shortcut" menu item is missing when I right-click -> New.
    To put shortcuts in that folder like I want, I have to create the shortcuts elsewhere and copy them over, or create the shortcuts programmatically (e.g., WshShell.CreateShortcut).
    Can anyone provide any details on this behavior?
    Thanks!
    Bill

    Hi Ronnie,
    Thanks for the reply, but I think you're misunderstanding...
    It's not a permissions problem -- I'm running an elevated Explorer window. As I said, I can copy shortcut files there (and copy and delete any other files there as well). Also, note that the following script works as well:
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    var wshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    var allUsersDesktop = wshShell.SpecialFolders.Item("AllUsersDesktop");
    var shortcutName = "Command Prompt.lnk";
    var shortcutPath = fso.BuildPath(allUsersDesktop, shortcutName);
    var wshShortcut = wshShell.CreateShortcut(shortcutPath);
    wshShortcut.TargetPath = fso.BuildPath(fso.GetSpecialFolder(1), "cmd.exe");
    wshShortcut.Save();
    The above script (save it in notepad and name 'createCmdShortcut.js') programmatically creates the shortcut without problems (of course, you have to run it from an elevated command prompt window), so as I said, it's not a permissions problem -- if it were a permissions problem, the above script would fail (and it does, if you don't run it elevated).
    The problem I'm highlighting is that the "Create shortcut" menu item doesn't work (it generates the "Windows can't create a shortcut here" message), and the right-click -> New -> Shortcut menu item is missing when you target your Windows Explorer window on the Users\Public\Desktop folder. These things work fine when I change my Explorer view to some other folder. I can't find any documented reason for this behavior.

  • How to creat shortcut for ethernet on desktop in win 8

    how to create shortcut for Ethernet enable and disable

    and it is has no internet disconnection option

    Hi,
    Here is the command you can write to the batch:
    To disable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection” admin=DISABLED
    To enable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name=“Local Area Connection” admin=ENABLED
    Note to find your  network interface, you can run

  • Creating Shortcuts on Windows Public Desktop

    Hi all,
    I believe this has been discussed before, but I'm after some advice.
    When I create a virtual app (using ZAV), I use ZCM11 to copy the virtual app to the user's computer, so it can be used when they are away from the network. The way I want to do this is to create a shortcut in the "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop\Virtual Applications".
    This is proving to be a real pain in ZCM (11.3.1).
    If I do this:
    Create a local shortcut to the virtual.exe
    (In a CMD Window) rename the shortcut from *.lnk to *.aaa
    (Using ZCM) Install the *.aaa file to a temp folder on the users computer
    Copy the *.aaa file to "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop\Virtual Applications" (as System User)
    Rename the file to *.lnk (as System User)
    ... it works.
    I can't believe this is the best way for a package like ZCM11 to create a shortcut.
    Has anyone managed to do this, in a way that I can optimise for many bundles.
    Cheers.

    You can install a shortcut, when you browse for it you have to change the
    filetype to *.*, if i remember correctly. And then select the shortcut.

  • How do I create subfolders UNDER multiple accounts in Mail, similar to Outlook?

    I am trying to move from Outlook 2011 MAC to Apple Mail. I understand how to drag my folders (mbox) but I have 3 mail accounts in Outlook and want to create these same accounts in Mail...followed by the specific folders under each mail account.
    Mail doesn't seem to allow me to simply drag a subfolder under a particular account. I'm on the latest version of Mountain Lion, as an FYI.
    Can someone help me because there has to be a way to keep things organized by email account and respective subfolder.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Its a standard practice that if there is multiple account assignment, the proportion will not be appearing at the time of MIGO. It will get updated only at the time of Invoice verification.

  • Multiple account assignment for asset

    Hi,
    I had created PO with multiple account assignment for asset. PO is created with one line item having 5 qty and in multiple account assignment 5 assets are entered with qty distribution.
    I have issue with commitment distribution for all the account assignment. when i post migo(GR) the value is posting for only first one asset not for all.
    So in the purchase order for the remaining account assignment commitment remain left.

    Hi,
    1st check in OME9 t.code for account assignment A, the selection of 2(Multiple account ***)in field ID: AcctAssgt Scrn and Distribution field as 1.
    Then during PO creation for single line item  & in Item details TAB, in account assignment segment, you enter qty with asset number (A1) with G/L account for 1st Line and for 2nd line keep  qty. with asset number(A1) with  G/L account ( different G/L Account) OR enter  qty with asset number (A1) with G/L account for 1st Line and for 2nd line keep  qty. with another asset number(A2) with  G/L account (different G/L Account)
    ####Example-1: in account assignment segment     , if you have
    G/L account----
    Asset
    12345u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026A1

  • PO with multiple account assignment

    Hi Experts,
    While creating PO for multiple account assignment system is automatically picking 'GR Non-Valuated' check box.After doing a GR no accouning document generated.
    How is the goods receipt valuated for a purchase order with multiple account assignment?
    Please explain.
    Thanks,
    Sanjana

    Hi,
    It is possible to create PO with multiple account assignment,but you will not get accounting document at the time of GR.it will happen at the time of MIRO,as i have allready explained.
    If you will create PO with multiple account assignment for Services,System will generate Accounting document at the time of GR.
    I hope it will clerify.

  • I have multiple apple phones on one account  can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

    I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes.  Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

    You don't need to create two separate libraries.
    If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
    To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

  • Creating a Shortcut on a Mac Desktop

    Hi everyone. I'm sure this has a very simple answer, but me being a newbie to using a
    Mac computer, I need some help.  I've set up a server for my home network with a
    Static IP of 192.168.2.10 .
    It was simple to create shortcuts for my computer and my sister's, because I've used
    Microsoft since it was DOS, and my sister's is Windows XP.  I simply created a shortcut
    and then typed in the network address, it being "\\192.168.2.10\Music" in Windows.
    But my mom has a Mac, and I need to create an alias (I think it's called) that would lead
    to the server from it.  I've searched all through the internet, and all I can find is something
    to the effect of this:
    1. Launch your Finder and look for the program that you want to create the alias for.
    2. Highlight this file and select "Make Alias".
    3. Drag the Alias to the desktop.
    My problem is that there is not an icon displayed that links to the server.
    Is there some kind of Properties box where I can manually enter the network path?

    Hi,
    First off, putting stuff (links/aliases, files, folders) on a Mac Desktop is not good practice, because it leads to some extra work on the CPU, since the Desktop is a folder like others, OS X will index all its content every time your Mom starts her Mac.
    This said, the best way to make an alias easy to use is to place it in the Dock via drag-n-drop, not on the Desktop. If placed in the Dock, your alias will always be within reach. All you have to do is locate the server folder you want to share in the Finder, and drag it to rightmost part of the Dock, where there are already some folders such as Applications, Documents, Downloads, etc...
    Alternately, you can also create a new Shared item in the left pane of your main Finder window. In the Finder preferences, you can also choose to show all connected servers on the Desktop, which can come in handy too.
    You may have to restart the Finder (or reboot the Mac, or just log out and back in) for the latter to take effect.
    Oh, I almost forgot: you can also copy and paste the folder in question in the Desktop folder (left pane in the Finder main window), and it'll appear on the Desktop itself.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.
