Copy Google shortcut to Desktop

Hellow,

I am trying to copy one Google Shortcut from BigFix,what is the relevance that I need to use it?
I have seen the example where it’s mention to use software distribution but the wizard doesn’t allow to select the shortcut.lnk file.

Please advise if that can be done through fixlet or distribution wizard or any available fixlet?

Thanks,

So, what I do for this I upload the shortcut to bigfix and the copy it from the downloads folder to the public desktop folder in windows.

copy "__Download\Google Chrome.lnk" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk"

Please note there is another way to future proof the public downloads folder. I never understood how it works. but, perhaps you do. Here is the link for that:

Sorry for the long-windedness, but there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on in this post. %22 is translated to a doublequote character. In string constants, any “%” encountered will translate the following two characters as the hexadecimal value of an ASCII character, in this case 0x22 = doublequote. This is very common in relevance, as are %25 - which translates to the “%” character, and “%0d%0a” which translates to Carriage Return / Line Feed - the DOS End-of-Line character pair. Rather…

I’m sorry man, I’m not understanding what you are trying to do.
are you trying to copy a file that is already uploaded in bigfix into the computer?
are you trying to copy a shortcut? or modified a shortcut that is already uploaded.

For updating files it might be better to use "System lifecycle " and software distribuation. you can manage files there individually.

It is possible to just create a shortcut on the desktop or anywhere as needed.

See this example:

• https://bigfix.me/fixlet/details/741
• https://www.bigfix.me/fixlet/details/720

Neither of these examples are exactly what you are looking for, but are close.

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply.
I have done this through uploading the .lnk File on BigFix through Software Distribution Wizard and copy onto the user desktop.
Command waithidden cmd.exe /c copy “__Download\MY WEB.lnk” “C:\Users\Public\Desktop\MY WEB.lnk” and get my result.

Thanks.
