I am doing volunteer work for a church in my area. We are
constructing a small computer lab for the after school
program. I have set certain Desktop icons for this
account including some of the default icons and others
that we deem necessary. I want to keep people from
deleting these icons and make sure that the icons we are
using will stay on this account's desktop. Any ideas?
 
Take it they wont have admin rights!
You could place the icons in All users desktop. Downside that they will
appear to all users.
Or in safee mode if using HE, or as admin in Pro navigate to the desktop
folder for the
users in question using Windows Explorer. Right click on the icons one by
one.
Security > Advanced > Edit and Deny on the required Permissions, guess its
delete?
