Find and Delete a shortcut for all users
Is there a way to search through each users Desktop folder, for a particular shortcut link, and delete it? All computers are Windows 7.

Hey Geoff,
A quick foreach loop in PowerShell should take care of this,
$files = Get-ChildItem C:\Users\*\Desktop\your_shortcut.lnk foreach ($file in $files) { Remove-Item $file -Force -WhatIf }
You can run that on a target machine manually first to verify its doing what you would like. if it is, go ahead and remove the -WhatIF and you can run it as a PDQ Inventory Tool, or a PowerShell step in PDQ Deploy.
