      Now that the bulk of this project is done, I might be able to dedicate some more time to getting Saltstack going. Although, I just found out they are planning an e-commerce site launch for one of our brands and didn't include me in the initial phases. #ThisPlace

        @Obsolesce Someday I will get to deploying salt stack. #pipedreams #onemanarmy

        SaltStack is awesome for a one man army.

          The fewer people you have, the more important efficiency is!

                    I am trying to see if I can use PS to create the shortcuts. Not sure how to get this path to work with the quotes it needs.

                    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"
                    

                    This is the template I am using.

                    # Create a Shortcut with Windows PowerShell
                    $TargetFile = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\notepad.exe"
                    $ShortcutFile = "$env:Public\Desktop\Notepad.lnk"
                    $WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
                    $Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
                    $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
                    $Shortcut.Save()

                      $Shortcut.Save()
                      

                      Took me a minute, but got it working. The template you are using doesn't account for arguments. Give this a shot:

                      $TargetFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
                      $args = '--incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"'
                      $ShortcutFile = "$env:UserProfile\Desktop\chrome1.lnk"
                      $WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
                      $Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
                      $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
                      $Shortcut.Arguments = $args
                      $Shortcut.Save()

                        $Shortcut.Save()

                        The arguments is what was needed. Thanks!

                          Circling back to GPP. Thanks to @FiyaFly , who was able to help me out with the syntax for the fields. Do not use quotes in the target or start in paths.
                          Target Path:

                          C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
                          

                          Arguments:

                          --incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"
                          

                          Start in:

                          C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\
                          

                          I also used the create option and desktop (standard, not all users desktop).
