Hi everybody,

Is there a way to make a desktop icon undeletable? (ie RecyleBin icon
can not be deleted off the desktop) I have a program that is network
based and everytime the computer loses network connectivity, the icon
disapairs from the desktop. I want to prevent this. Thank you to
anyone who can help.
