The following is the command I am using:

shell 'cmd /c xcopy "$CompanyApps\Common\*.lnk" "$Programs_Folder" >nul 2>&1'

with $CompanyApps being defined earlier in the script as a share on our LOGONSERVER and $Programs_folder being defined as “%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs”. Originally I was using a copy and then switched to xcopy to see if it would make a difference. I even removed the >nul and the script showed it had copied x number of icons. Yet when you click on Start/Programs there are no icons.
