Re: User can't remove icons from desktop



Hi Jason,

Thanks for your update.

You may try to delete the user account and then recreate it to see if it
occurs again.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

| He's tried to delete all icons and just one, or a couple. Same situation.
|

| No
| > 4. Does the situation occur if the user logon to other PC?
| Yes, I log on to another PC, delete some desktop icons and when I log on
| again in that same PC, the icons are right back.
|
| I performed all of your steps below and my user is still having the same
| issues. You mentioned in step 3:. Check the share permission to ensure
that
| Everyone has Full Control permission." If I give Full Control to
"Everyone"
| won't that allow any user to access files on this user's profile.
Something
| I don't want, especially since this is the owner of the company I'm
talking

|
| Thanks for the help.
