Where do should add a task to copy items to desktop

Question

I am trying to copy some default shortcuts my users use to the public desktop but my task step for it failed I've attached a screencap of my task. It uses a VBScript I found in my earlier research which I've attached I believe it just allows you to copy multiple items but with just one task. the DesktopFiles folder is where the script is held and all items I want to copy
