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()









share|improve this question
























  • does the account used have a MyDocuments dir? are there any errors? if you run the script using the same account that AZIntune uses, does it work?

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
