How about creating a batch file containing the following:

REM ---------------------------------------------------

REM StartApps.bat
@d:\oracledir\aiap45.exe appltmp=d:\users\%username%

REM ---------------------------------------------------

Then create a shortcut to this batch file on each desktop.
