Multi-user - removing EA Games Icons

I have a multi user installation on one Vista machine. When installing Sims
2, icons for games and expansion packs where placed on the desktops of all
users. They can't be removed from each individual desktop - when I try and
delete them, they are deleted from the source folder (under EA Games). Does
anybody know a quick fix?

Hi kimsr,

These icons have probably been installed on the Public Desktop, which
enables them to be seen by all users on theirs. All you need to do is to move
them from the Public Desktop to the desktop(s) of the required user(s). They
can then be deleted from the Public Desktop and will no longer appear on the
desktop other than the one(s) that you place it on. This can also be used the
other way round, to allow all users access to a program that only places its
icons on a single user's desktop. See below for details of the location of
the desktop folders.

Path to Public Desktop:

C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop

Path to User's Desktop (<UserName> is the name of the user) :

C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop
