InputBox()

FileCreateShortcut()

possibly:

FileInstall()

Better question: Is AutoIt really what you want/need? You'd need Remote Desktop, or at the very least, permission to copy into the user's @DesktopDir.

Of the top of my head. Untested:

Global $link = @DesktopDir & "\my_shortcut.lnk"
Global $inputbox = InputBox("What's the computer name?", "Please provide Computer Name?")

FileCopy($link, "\\" & $inputbox "\c$\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop")

Keep in mind that you have to have actual access rights on that machine to be able to put file on it. Also there's no error checking in place.

filecopy($link, ^ERROR
