Remove desktop shortcuts for limited acct users

Guest

Hi
i am trying to remove some unused desktop shortcuts in a user account with
limited access (no administrative privileges), and I can't remove them. I
get a message saying that access is denied to these shortcuts. How can i
remove them from the limited user accts, without removing them from the
administrative acct?
Thanx

You probably cannot remove them as said users because they are located in
the "All Users" profile.
Remove them (as an admin) from the "All Users" profile area in Documents and
Settings and put them in the administrators profile instead - if that is the
only user you want to see those particular shortcuts.

Have you tried moving the shortcuts from "\Documents and Settings\All
Users.WINDOWS\Desktop" folder to the administrative account's desktop
folder while logged on with the administrative account?
