locking down icons

by brianbooher . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

Hello everyone,

I need some help with a problem I have at work.

We have 5 computers that are used as kiosks for shop floor workers to be able to check their email and log in worked hours on machines they work on.
We have shortcuts to Excel spreadsheets on each kiosk that are put into the All Users folder. these machines are Windows XP Pro.

The problem I am facing is that some people log into the machine and see the icons on their desktop and delete them. This of course deletes the icons for everyone else.

I would like to know if there is a way to lock down these icons from being deleted or do an automatic restore of the icons when a user logs in.

There are too many people who log into the machines to put the icons on each profile, since some don’t want them.

Any ideas?

Thanks
