Thanks for that as I missed the part about FAT32. --- Steve

Hi, Steven,
you are absolutely right regarding dangers of changing system time,
but Luiz said that they have FAT32 (admins nightmare ;-) ), so NTFS
security is out of question. Of course they can change fat to ntfs, but I
am afraid that Novel will not boot anymore.
Regards

Bagins told you how to give uses the ability to change system time which
is not a good idea if the computers are in an Active Directory domain.
You can also manage NTFS permissions on the desktop folders for all
users and user profile so that users have only read/list/execute
permission. Of course any administrator or owner of the folder can
change permissions on that folder if they know how to and desire to

Hi,

The ordinary users needs administrator privileges because they change
the
time settings, but we are trying to implement a policie to restrict
desktop
shortcuts to be deleted.

Thanks,

Hi, Luiz,
Microsoft documents will explain that ordinary users should not log in
as
administrators.
If you are administrator, you have absolute power over your machine.
You can
delete files, format drives and do other potentially dangerous things.
Users should log in as ordinary users, nothing more.

I would like to know on windows xp based computers how to avoid
ordinary
users with local administrator privileges from deleting desktop
shortcuts
(ex. shortcut to word document) created by local administrators
(advanced
users).

Palataform: Windows XP
Network: Novell
Drive C (location where Windows XP is installed): FAT32
Drive G (location where the files are located): Novell - The files
are
located in a folder with read only privileges.

The ordinary users log on XP workstations with administrator
privileges.

Is there a Microsoft document explaining how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
