Lock the desktop to make icons don't mess

Usually, some software will automatically generate shortcuts on the desktop after installation. Other users may delete useful shortcuts when using our computer. This time, the desktop of the computer is very messy. Is there a simple way to keep your desktop, requiring not to automatically add shortcuts, not to delete useful icons. [Solution] Everyone knows that the current desktop of the computer is composed of the contents of the current user and the public user's desktop folder. For example, if the current user is cfan, then C:\\Users\\yumufa\\Desktop and C:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop are The corresponding desktop folder, the desktop to add or delete shortcuts, is to change the contents of the above folder. Therefore, to achieve desktop lock, we can use the system's own "rights" to prevent users from making changes to the above folders. [Solution Method] Here we take the current user's corresponding desktop folder lock as an example. Open the Explorer, find C:\\Users\\yumufa\\Desktop, right-click, select “Properties>, in the properties window that opens, switch to the "Security" tab, then click “Advanced”. In the Advanced Properties window that opens, remove the check box that includes the permissions that can be integrated from the object's parent, and then click on the dialog box that pops up, click "Yes" to delete all inherited permissions for the folder. . Figure 1 Delete Inherited Rights Return to the Advanced Security Settings window, click “Add”, follow the prompts to add the current user cfan to the group and user name list, and set the permissions to default. Return to the security properties window, click “Advanced → Change Permissions, then select the current user in the window that opens, click the “Edit” button, in the edit window that opens, check the box under Deny permissions. Create file/write data”, “delete subfolders and files”,“delete” (Figure 2). Figure 2 Set the current user's permission to delete files. Same as above, continue to make the same settings for C:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop. In this way, the current user does not have permission to create and delete shortcuts on the desktop. Later, when the installer tries to create a shortcut on the desktop, the system will pop up "Cannot create a shortcut, please check if the disk is full" error message Of course, the user actually does not have permission to create files on the desktop (Figure 3). Figure 3 The installer cannot create shortcuts on the desktop. Similarly, if other people using our computer try to delete the shortcuts that have already been created, the system will pop up a "File access denied" prompt (Figure 4). Figure 4 The user cannot delete the shortcut that has been added. This article is from [System Home] www.xp85.com
