I don't see the lock icon you're referring to. Could you clarify which app or system you're using? That way I can help you remove it.

Navigate to C:\Users, right-click your profile, select Properties, then go to the security tab. Click Advanced, highlight the SYSTEM group, tick the option to replace all child object permissions with inheritable ones from this object, edit the settings, choose Allow as the type, apply it to this folder, its subfolders and files, ensure SYSTEM has full access, click OK and see if the lock icon disappears.

Check the guide for removing the padlock or lock icon from files on Windows 10. It should provide clear steps.

You may have defined access controls for your Desktop directory at C:\Users\<username>\Desktop Or activated security features on the Desktop folder itself (remember this applies to all subfolders, so verify it)
