      @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()

                      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).
