| 181375 | 2003-10-08 08:09:00 | OS: XP Pro SP1 I'm unable to delete those desktop shortcut icons when logging in to a limited user account. I could however, when logging in to a power user account. There are quite a number of irrelevant shortcut icons on this limited user account and I want to delete them but can't! Please help. |

Any shortcut that appears in this folder will automatically appear on everyone's desktop as a shortcut. If you require a specific shortcut(s) to only appear under your account, just cut the shortcut from the All Users desktop folder and then paste it into your desktop folder. |
