Non-working shortcut when created via Toec

    I'm trying to create a shortcut via Toec with the following power shell lines. This works when ran on manually by running the power shell script on a test computer, but via Toec the behavior is different.

    Toec creates the shortcut but when you double click it, it doesn't open at all.

    $shell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
    $shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Staff Shortcuts.lnk")
    $shortcut.TargetPath = "\servername\DesktopShortcuts\Staff Shortcuts"

    Give the shortcut a specific icon, on this example the Star icon, # $shortcut.IconLocation = "shell32.dll,43"

    $shortcut.IconLocation = "shell32.dll,43"
    $shortcut.Save()

    I suspect that wscript.shell needs a user context instead of service.

    I was able to get around it by using file copy to place the shortcut. Thanks for your time looking into it.
