    You could remove the appropriate write permission... which is more general an effect than you want..

    Thanks Dalchina,
    However I need something more targeted.

    You could make the folder read only.

    More targeted? That particular programs would be excluded from writing to it?

    Thanks Dalchina,
    By targeted, I mean only affect "save as" dialogue boxes, without preventing adding shortcuts to desktop.
    I tried changing the "Desktop" folder to read only, but it didn't work (C:\Users\....\Desktop) - not sure why.

    I can set mine as read only; I'm running as admin. Sorry, I've no idea how you could do that.
