I am looking to create a desktop shortcut to a network drive. We are on a domain, so I am looking to do this via group policy. I would like the shortcut to be placed on the users desktop and be to the network drive of \\server. I am having a hard time getting this to work. Most of the forums I have read through only show how to do \\server\othershare and not just plain \\server. It could be through a script as well, just as long as I can get this to work.
