    Prevent Other users from rearranging desktop icons ?


    Is there a way to prevent users from rearranging the desktop icons ?

    or where does Windows 7 keep the configuration files that keeps track of the icon placement on the desktop?

    I use a program called DesktopOK to remember and restore icon placement.

    How about give them ( the users ) each an user account with their own passwords ?
    They can mess around with their own icons whichever way they want.

    Just a thought.

    And make sure that they are standard user accounts as well. Who knows what else they might be trying to rearrange.
