Windows 10: Camera Roll Icon on Desktop will not stay 'DELETED'!

For some reason, and I think it was a Win10 Update that caused it, the 'Camera Roll' Shortcut keeps coming back onto the Desktop Screen when I delete it.

I read a much older post where it seemed to be linked to One Drive and a Photos App but One Drive is blocked from starting up on my laptop and does not appear in any listing of the Programs or Folders on my machine, while I also do not have a 'Photos App'.

But trying to get rid permanently of the Camera Roll 'Shortcut' on the Desktop is infuriating!

Can anyone assist me please in sending this Shortcut to the 'PERMANENT GARBAGE BUCKET' where it will not come back?

Thanks

:)

Removing desktop icons

I want to remove some Icons from my desktop, but Vista asks for Admin permission to continue (I'm not an admin *Frown ).
It seems that whenever I delete one of these icons from my desktop, it is also removed from all the other user accounts. For example, I deleted the Skype icon from my desktop, and it was then removed from everyone elses as well.
How can I delete icons from my desktop only, without affecting anyone elses?
