I am wanting to create a shortcut on the desktop for all users. Is there any predefined variable for this?

I notice that there are two for the programs $SHORTCUTFILES$ and $SHORTCUTFILESALL$ but I only find one for $DESKTOPDIR$.

Its not there by default - but you can get it!
Just use Get Folder Location, and check the All Users check-box.

Yes. One thing to keep in mind is that not all folders are available on all Windows versions. For instance, My Videos comes with XP and later.
