Icons that have many names...

[1RobDog1]

We have a problem at Our Organization where users will double click an icon on the desktop and it goes into renaming mode.&nbsp;&nbsp;Well Our users will type in password info or user IDs into the icon name and rename the icon.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is not very good for security, thank you Microsoft.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a way to prevent the user to rename an icon on the desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are using user profiles and policies on Win95 PCs.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am unable to find any info to this problem using user policies.&nbsp;&nbsp;TIA<br><br>-RobDog

If you change the properties of the shortcut to &quot;Read Only&quot; it will cause a pop-up warning message &quot;Are you sure you wish to rename the read only. . . .&quot; yes/no prompt. It won't stop the renaming, but it may slow it down. If you were using NT you could change the NTFS permissions on the shortcut to read only to prevent access completely. . .

Hope this helps!
