Hi
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?
Thanx

Have you tried moving the shortcuts from "\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Desktop" folder to the administrative account's desktop folder while logged on with the administrative account?
