Re: Remove desktop shortcuts for limited acct users

i am trying to remove some unused desktop shortcuts in a user
account with limited access (no administrative privileges), and I
can't remove them. I get a message saying that access is denied to
these shortcuts. How can i remove them from the limited user accts,
without removing them from the administrative acct?

You probably cannot remove them as said users because they are located in
the "All Users" profile.
Remove them (as an admin) from the "All Users" profile area in Documents and
Settings and put them in the administrators profile instead - if that is the
only user you want to see those particular shortcuts.
