moving desktop icons

October 12, 2007

Just built TS2k3 with assistance from a friend and Vera's excellent

website. All I need to do now is fine tune the program icons on the

desktop. I need to move some of the icons to a folder on the desktop

to 'hide' them so users can differentiate between older programs and

newer programs (older tax programs with 'hidden' icons). I can create

the folder on the desktop, and copy the icons into the folder (instead

of moving ... as a test), but when the users try to open the folder

with the copied icons, they get a message saying that current policies

prevent this operation. I need to modify permissions on the desktop

folder so that users can access the copied icons.

Please Help!

Re: moving desktop icons

Which desktop folder are we talking about? The All Users desktop

folder, or the Administrator's private desktop folder, or ...?

And did you use folder redirection for the normal users' desktop

folder?

The desktop is the "all users". I added a folder to the desktop in

'all users' and copied the icons there. The users can see the new

folder, but when they double click on the new folder, a message pops

up saying that restrictions on the server prevent this action. How can

I grant the users permissions to the folder to open it and launch the

programs within? I tried granting all 'remote users' permissions to

the folder, but it didn't work.

Thanks! (Your website is awesome Vera... answered lots of questions I

had about TS).
