Prevent desktop icon deletion

[Manda Luyong]

using the FAT32 File system. If you convert to the NTFS
file system then you can set permissions for which users
can delete, access, change etc. certain files (possibly
desktop icons)Contact Microsoft to get more info onto how
to convert and which file system you are currently using
