Win11 command script to copy software center shortcut to Default desktop folder

Question

Dear exports,

Is there a working script that helps to copy the software center shortcut to Default desktop folder, so that new login users will use it later on?
My idea was to create an application in SCCM to run this script, so after client push is completed, the application will run to copy the shortcut to the default desktop location.

Thank you very much.

Hi @Eaven Huang ,

I have down some tests on your question. Please modify your $SourceFilePath and $ShortcutPath. The following screenshot for your reference:

$SourceFilePath
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe(on client)

$ShortcutPath
C:\Users\Default\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk(on client)

Test result:

Script:

> $SourceFilePath = " C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
> $ShortcutPath = " C:\Users\Default\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk"
> $WScriptObj = New-Object -ComObject ("WScript.Shell")
> $shortcut = $WscriptObj.CreateShortcut($ShortcutPath)
> $shortcut.TargetPath = $SourceFilePath
> $shortcut.WindowStyle = 1
> $shortcut.Save()

Looking forward to your feedback.
