Question : Place a shortcut on the desktop through login script or group policy

I'm trying to deploy a shortcut to the desktops of all the computers on the network.  The shortcut is a mailto: link with the IThelpdesk email in it.  I created the shortcut manually and it opens a new message with outlook which is what I want.  Now I'm trying to deploy this through a login script in AD and I have been unsuccessful.  I went through some of the posts and found this command xCOPY \\server\Share\shortcut.lnk "c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop"

When I use that from a command prompt it says Files Copied - 0  File not found

Any Ideas?

I've got it.  I set up a test just like yours and this is how you need to do it.
It worked for me just fine.  I had to add.url after the it.lnk.  
xcopy "\\aaifileserver\Autoaves\Shared\IT.lnk.url" "%userprofile%\Desktop\" /C /H /R /Y /Z
