Set it to read only, or edit the permissions to only allow modify to your account.

You could make the shortcut (or a batch file) in a location the user cannot access, where only Administrator has write-access. Then make a shortcut to that shortcut and put it on the desktop, verifying that non-admin users can execute it. You may need to change permissions on the first shortcut to ensure Read and Execute permission for all.

Please kindly assume there is don't have admin user, there is only 1 user in the device. The scenario would like this, I will create PortableChrome.exe to desktop as shortcut, then right-click the shortcut and edit the target field to launch as Kiosk mode. After this, I want to lock the target field from being modify (like Grey Out)
