is there an easy way to check if a file is present on a users desktop?
I have added this to the 'scanned files' section.

But for the report I don't know what to put. I just need to know the icon is there or not,,

Thanks

It would not be possible for the server to know where %userprofile% belongs to.
Multiple users can be logged on to the system and multiple userprofiles will exist on the system when more than one user logs on.

Maybe a solution would be to place the icon in the "All users" folder?

the file i have asked it to scan is

%userprofile\desktop\myicon.lnk

Im assuming i need to use the if exsisits but not sure where to go after that..

I would like to be able to include this on the software reports, simply showing how many people have this icon on the deskotp

Could you post the path of the file you want to find, I'll try to create a sample query
