Anyway, I'm unaware of a method to automatically redirect a shortcut
from the public desktop to your own.
It wouldn't affect me for a few reasons. First, I would just replace
the shortcut as soon as I found it missing, probably v
I think it's because (by default?) it gets installed in the "all users" desktop
folder so the icon is not in my desktop folder per se. When it gets deleted by
one of the family, it gets deleted from the common folder.
So, I figure I should be able to move it from the common folder to the specifi
