How to remove desktop shortcuts

[Carlos]

XP Home edition. One administrator account and three
limited user accounts. Limited user accounts have some
shortcuts on their desktop that I wish to remove yet wish
to keep the same short cuts on the administrator's
desktop. Can anyone provide some insight as to how to
proceed?

Thank you in advance
Carlos

Log on as Admin on your machine. Go to Windows Installation Directory > Documents and Settings. In there you will see folders for each user. Every folder
has a Desktop folder that contains the items on the specific users' desktop including shortcuts. You might want to delete the shortcuts from each users'
desktop folder. For shortcuts that you want to share across users, put them in All Users -> Desktop folder, and for those shortcuts that you want only the
Admin to see, put them in Administrator -> Desktop folder. Hope this helps.

Thanks.
