Default Distribute an excel workbook shortcut

Oh Wise Ones,
Please forgive me if this is not the proper forum
for this question but I'm not sure where to post it, and I feel some of you
may have encountered this before. I have an excel spreadsheet that I would
like to place a shortcut to on peoples desktops with the file to open
readonly. Has anyone done this before? I guess it would require some type of
batch file. I would send it as a link in Outlook and the recipients would
double-click on the attachment, then the shortcut would be installed to their
desktop to be opened readonly when started. It's a local office so I know
everyone. Yes everyone has access to the network location.
