In case your calling the .bat from inside a CA it's not that pretty to see a command prompt pop-up for a second.
I would go for the vbs in the above scenario:
I would go for the vbs in the above scenario:
set oWsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
shortcut = oWsh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%") & "\Start Menu\Programs\AAA\BBB\XYZ.URL"
if oFSO.FileExists(shortcut) then
oFSO.DeleteFile(shortcut)
End If

oWsh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%")
Ugh, why do you script guys still do this? The Common Programs folder is a known/"special" folder to vbscript. You should write your code to work with all modern versions of Windows, not just XP.
This might be a little dated now, but it's better than reading that environment variable:
