Desktop prevention

Comment:

Does anyone know how to prevent users from saving on the desktop? I dont mind a few shortcuts, but I hate it when people start saving all sorts of crap on the desktop. Thanks

Givem their own user ID and password protect yours so they cannot clutter your desktop up with crap. see USER ACCOUNTS in ControlPanel. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for life.

Start deleting the saved stuff, then deny all knowledge of it being on the desktop. Then tell them to save stuff to whatever is the name of your download folder. Iligitimi non carborundum est
