I'm trying to create a 'MyDocuments' shortcut on my local PC using the following script. But when I run the script through Azure Intune it creates a shortcut but the target is 'This PC'.
$ShortcutPath = "$env:PublicDesktopDocu.lnk"
$WshShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutPath)
$Shortcut.TargetPath = [environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
$Shortcut.Save()

Try this one. You need admin rights to run this script, because you are reading other user profiles.
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
$user = "YourUsername" # User to set link to desktop
# get user sid and profilepath
$sid = (Get-WmiObject -Class win32_useraccount -Filter "name = '$user'").SID
$profilePath = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter "SID = '$sid'").LocalPath
if( $profilePath -ne $null )
$currentUser = [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal]::Current
$currentSid = $currentUser.Sid.Value
# if another user load reg hive
if( $currentSid -ne $sid )
$pathReg = Resolve-Path "$profilePath..$userNTUSER.DAT"
reg load "HKU$sid" $pathReg
