I am trying to set a shortcut that has a varaible for the
USERSPROFILE. I want to be able to copy a shortcut on to people's
desktop and have it link to a folder in thier USERPROFILE.

"C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\CM_Tracker
\CMTracker_FE.mdb"

I have tried the above and it does not work. It does however work for
the Start In: Each user will have the above list folder and file in
thier userprofile, just want to be able to link it for them.

Have you tried leaving out the reference to C:\Documents and
Settings? Since %USERPROFILE% expands to C:\Documents and
Settings\USERACCOUNT, the start of your path is redundant.

See if this works.

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\CM_Tracker\CMTracker_FE.mdb

Good luck
