User gets extra icons from local machine software.

[spacebar]

One of the teachers here keeps getting icons on her network desktop linking to software installed on the local machine.

 

She is asked if I can get rid of them, If you delete them from her desktop on one machine they disappear, but they are still present on another.

 

It seems they are stored on the public desktop of each machine, and she has access to the C drive on her user (domain user).

 

Not a big deal but wanted to know if anyone knows how to get rid.

 

Users that do not have access to the C drive do not have the issue (I assume because they do not have permission to load them), but she requires it.

I'd run a startup script of

 

del C:\Users\Public\Desktop\*.* /f /s /q

 

To delete the contents.

 

There is also a group policy for this but it hides some other stuff.
