This might not help....but this is what I normally do.

I like to create the 'stuff' that I want to be available to everyone in the default users profile. This way, if someone deletes something it does not affect everyone else. However, this is simply part of your situation and does not really answer the question. The permissions would be where I would start. Also, as aptly stated, if your domain user account objects are member of the local Administrators group on the computers then there is really nothing that you can do.....other than threaten them with bodily harm....and if you do not want to do that I can be your muscle! ;-)

Think about the default user thing.....it might be of interest. But the permissions thing is the true answer.


The only problem with the Deafult User thing at this point is that most people who log onto the machines have already done so and we don't want to delete profiles on a few thousand boxes. I'm not sure why our users are Power Users but will get the answer to that today.

thanks for the reply
