User deleting shared desktop shortcuts

[Eduardo Sicouret]

Hello,

I have a windows 2000 domain.

I also have windows 2000 profesional workstations and users who have a group
policy applied to them.

With that policy they have their desktops redirected to a shared folder.

I would like to prevent users from changing their desktops.

The share is full control for everyone, but at the filesystem the
permissions are write for administrators and read-only for everyone.

The problem is that each user can delete a shortcut from their desktop and
the shortcut is also deleted from the share, although this should not be
possible.

Permissions work fine for other shares.

The problem is only for the desktop share. Apparently each user has rights
to write on his own desktop although this desktop is taken from the network

How could I prevent that from happening?

Regards,

Eduardo Sicouret

you can make the profile mandatory or write a logon script that repopulates
the shortcuts each time.

The profile is mandatory and the idea is to prohibit the user from deleting
shortcuts from the shared desktop
