Hi everyone
I wanted to create a shortcut to my Windows partitions on my Ubuntu Desktop. So I opened a terminal and typed
ln -s /windows/c/ /home/neville/Desktop/C
ln -s /windows/d/ /home/neville/Desktop/D
and got the shortcuts. I then tried to create shortcuts which cannot be deleted by me unless I'm root. So I deleted the above shortcuts and gave
sudo ln -s /windows/c/ /home/neville/Desktop/C
sudo ln -s /windows/d/ /home/neville/Desktop/D
However I am able to delete these very easily. When I tried to see the ownership I see it's owned by root, and sudo getfacl Desktop/C gives me the following
# file: Desktop/C
# owner: root
# group: plugdev
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::---
groups neville gives me this
neville adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare vboxusers
Any suggestions?
