Desktop Icons

I'm trying to find out how to delete desktop icons from my kids desktops
without deleting the icons on my desktop. Every time I delete a icon from my
kids desktop it also deletes that same icon from my desktop.
Is there a way to delete them from my kids desktop without them deleting
from my desktop?

That means that the icons are in the All Users Desktop profile. Open
Explorer and open C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop (if
Windows is on C:). You can select the icons you want to remove from
your kids Desktop by pressing Ctrl and left clicking the icons. When you
have them selected, press Ctrl-X to cut them. Navigate to your profile
Desktop folder and press Ctrl-V to paste them. Now they'll only appear
in your profile.
