removing shortcuts from desktop

[Guest]

For Parental Control purposes, I need to remove several icons from my
daughter's desktop. When I right click them and choose delete, it tells me
access is denied- make sure disk is not full or write protected. I've tried
changing her settings to comp. admin., using desktop cleanup wizard, etc, and
everything tells me access is denied. What else can I try?

Sure you want to delete them? Try moving them from...

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

To

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Desktop
