Desktop shortcut

[AccessNewbie]

I have 50 regular users and 150 managers (different people every year) during
our peak production time. My users have told me that a few years ago they
had a database administrator who sent them an email and when they clicked on
the link they automatically had a desktop icon for the Access Database for
their area. I have no idea what the link was or what was in it so any
information that would help my users I would appreciate.

My guess is that its a WSH script (Windows Script Host). WSH has a method
that creates a shortcut.

If I'm nice, I might post a script that I wrote that automatically
distributes new front end versions to a person's local drive as the front end
