Other users deleting shortcuts for all users
When placing a shortcut at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
for all of our users, any person can log in with their account and delete the shortcut if they don't like clutter. Unfortunately, they delete the shortcut for all of users at the same time. Is there a way to force the shortcut to stay for all users? In the security portion, I change it to "Read" and "Read/Execute" but they still can delete it for all users.

Maybe change the permissions on the actual folder and child objects
(instead of the shortcuts)?

Change it so that "Everyone" and "Users" only have "Read" access to the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" folder - assuming that these users are *NOT* local admins. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

This is working as designed - maybe not as desired... I am an All User, so this folder belongs to all of us! Deny modify permission (at least) on the folder to prevent deletions.
