So when I copy the shortcuts that I want to C:\Users\Public\Desktop do I need to do that on each PC/laptop individually?
Tim Hunter - Yes, you'll need to do that to each machine. If you have access to them as admin or domain admin, you should be able to connect to the C$ share of each one and copy them remotely. If there isn't too many machines. You could write a script to do this... Or you could do a logon or startup script to do this via GPO. 😉 Lot's of ways to approach this....
NOTE: If the users have "Admin" rights on the machine, they could be able to delete that RDP file from their desktop and or "modify" it, so test what you might need to do to make that "read only" or "show up each time if it is deleted... Just a word to the wise.
Again, I'm just throwing things out there. There might be some better ways to do this. Although, I don't know of any way at this point to do individual username passwords for multiple desktops. That might have to be a "folder redirection thing" and you have them on individual shares with "shortcuts" to them on their desktop. But remember, that also requires the network to be up and working all the time.
I hope I'm not clouding any of your thoughts and confusing things!
