I am having problems permanently deleting items from my Desktop in Windows 2000. I have checked/adjusted group, local, and network security settings and nothing seems to help. Please help!!!

When I delete items, they go away until I reboot. Noerrors are shown. The deleted items just reappear next time the computer is booted (warm or cold boot).

Are you the network administrator? It sounds to me like there are policies enabled that force certain desktop items to show up. I am sorry, but, this is the only explaination for your problem.

I agree, either policies or mandatory roaming profiles are the cause. You need to talk to a systems administrator to help you get rid of them (if your company will even allow it to be done).
