I feel somewhat stupid asking this, since there is probably an easy way that I am missing, but here it goes:

>I have several users that have Power User Accounts using one workstation

>I have a set of items that must remain on the desktop in the all users folder

>They like to delete these, which makes it difficult for other users to use the workstation, and them when they realize what they deleted was important

>I have tried limiting access to the all users folder to read only for each of them (via username), to no prevail

How do I make it so that they cannot delete these items?

Thanks,
J.S.

Thanks for the reply...I tried that with no luck to begin with

How about in the folder's Permissions setting 'Modify' to 'Deny'. Right-click the Desktop folder in All Users=> Properties => Security.
