Lock Desktop Icons

In this tutorial we’ll see how we can lock our desktop icons so that no one can make any changes to the icons that we have arranged in the desktop. Generally it happens when someone comes to our system and mess up the arrangement.
So for that open Registry and go to the following path

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer.

Right-click in the right pane and select New, DWORD Value name NoSaveSettings and press the Enter key. Right-click on the new NoSaveSettings item and select Modify. Enter 1 in the Value data box. After this, whenever you restart Windows, your settings will return to their current state.
