V. Keep Desktop

If you want to make your favorite desktop shortcut icons are not deleted , can be done as follows.

Assuming the system is installed on the C drive and the user is Admin, the shortcut icons on the user's desktop include the contents of "C:Documents and SettingsAll Users Desktop" and "C:Documents and SettingsAdmin Desktop". Here we set permissions so that the contents of the "..All Users desktop" are not deleted.

Open the Explorer, find the ..All Users desktop, right click on the desktop → Sharing and Security → Security (Figure 8, the Desktop Properties panel appears) → Click on "Advanced" to "inherit those from the parent" Permission items that can be applied to child objects, including those that are explicitly defined here, are removed. In the "Security" prompt dialog box, click "Copy", "Permission Items" only keeps "Everyone Read and" Run", delete the other, click OK, as shown in Figure 9, then click OK.

This way, the content in the "..All Users desktop" is kept and will not be deleted.
