If I copy the batch file to the user's desktop and double click to execute, it completes the shortcut "fix" which deletes the nonworking SFB start menu shortcut and pastes the functioning SFB shortcut. So after the application is deployed hidden and shows up on the client's System Center as "Installed" under status, the batch file fix never took place. I placed the filename.bat file you see above in my content location \\servername\d$\Installs. Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean in your second question. Thanks for helping out.
