**Purpose**: To deploy a shortcut to the desktop pointing to a network share's root path. (e.g. "\\STORAGE.BUNNY-LAB.IO"). There is a quirk with how Windows handles network shares and shortcuts and doesn't like when you point the shortcut to a root UNC path. ### Group Policy Location ``` mermaid graph LR A[Create Group Policy] --> B[User Configuration] B --> C[Preferences] C --> D[Windows Settings] D --> E[Shortcuts] ``` ### Group Policy Settings - **Action**: `Update` - **Name**: `` - **Target Type**: `File System Object` - **Location**: `Desktop` - **Target Path**: `C:\windows\explorer.exe` - **Arguments**: `\\storage.bunny-lab.io` - **Start In**: `` - **Shortcut Key**: `` - **Run**: `Normal Window` - **Icon File Path**: `%SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll` - **Icon Index**: `9` ### Additional Notes Navigate to the "**Common**" tab in the properties of the shortcut, and check the "**Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option)**".
