Preventing deletion of desktop icons

How to prevent deleting desktop icons


Log in to client pc with the domain administrators account.

Navigate to the user's profile folder, and open it.

Take ownership of the desktop folder, and de-select the inherit permissions check box.

Remove the user from the permissions access list. Then re-add him. The users permissions now should be read, execute, and and list.

Then copy the shortcuts to desktop of domain users.

Note:

Make sure that you should logon to client pc at least one time to have the user’s profiles like Desktop.

Can be implemented in domain and in work group too.
