removing desktop icons

When I install a program it will display its icon on each profile. Where do
you go to edit or add icons that you want to be on everyones desktop or that
you want removed from everyones desktop when they log on with their
profile.?

Hello Mark

The hidden Desktop folder shared by all users is located a
"C:\Users\Public\Desktops"
