GPP Link to specific Program not working

Question

Hi,

i´m trying to add some GPP Links to programs installed on my PCs. The Links are already present on the machines, so i want to edit them. But i keep getting the error message that the system cannot find the specified file, so something with my directories is wrong:

These are my settings:

I´m not sure about the location field, the "target path" filed an "start in" are accessible and present.

What am i doing wrong?

Hello Simon-Timothy Folaji,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

1.Based on the description "But i keep getting the error message that the system cannot find the specified file", Where did you see the error message?

2.Did you configure Shortcuts gpo? If so, whether it is Computer Configuration or User Configuration?

Computer Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Shortcuts
User Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Shortcuts

Location: Enter where the shortcut should appear in the targeted systems. <path>/<name of the shortcut>

Target Path, URL, or Object: Enter where the shortcut will lead to when clicked.

Target Path: This option is for file system objects. Enter the UNC path where the object is located in the local network.

Target URL: This option is for target type: URL. Enter the website or FTP URL.

Target Object: This option is for shell objects. Choose the targeted shell object from the list of options.
