How to block deleting Shortcuts onWindows Desktop?

Inva

There should be a directory called:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\

Set the permissions on this directory so only the Administrator can write and delete files. Any shortcuts you put in this directory will then be visible to all users, but they will not be able to delete them.

Make the shortcuts read-only or apply the permissions still, just make sure you allow yourself to turn them back on when you need to modify them.
