Had a fun IT shame experience the other day I thought I’d share. An installed app dropped a shortcut on the desktop, and for whatever reason in windows, if you drag certain shortcuts to the trash it asks for admin permission.
Tried multiple times to delete, rebooted, etc. But eventually I was annoyed and desparate so I took it to IT to get quick admin permission. He selected the shortcut, hit the delete key, and it disappeared, no admin prompt. I’ve never felt so ashamed. But also why the fuck is that functioning as intended Windows?
