Hi all.
I`ve got a problem...users can rename items that are on Destkop (My Computer, My Network Places).
What can I do to Restrict this Option ?

You could prevent renaming by setting folder permissions for each users desktop folder so that user does not have modify access. Some desktop icons store their names on registry. To prevent renaming those, you have to locate each item and then change registry key permissions.

I don't recomment this for general use. Many applications assume that user can update desktop. So your users might encounter strange problems because of restricting desktop access this way.
