Hi! I just set up my new computer and we created three user accounts on our
XP. Why is it that when one user deletes an icon on the desktop, it deletes
the icons for the other two users? Is there a way to stop this?

Thank you!
Jacen

The Desktop you see is a combination of two folders. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop or %allusersprofile%\Desktop and C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Desktop or %userprofile%\Desktop All Users Desktop: Refers to the desktop common for all the users. User Desktop: Refers to the desktop of that user. Anything deleted by one user from the All Users Desktop will be removed from everyone elses Desktop also. Tell them to quit deleting stuff from the Desktop. You will have the same problem with the Start Menu. Start Menu and Desktop are NameSpaceExtensions which show the combined contents of two folders at one time. The Start Menu that you see is a combination of both of these folders: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu or %allusersprofile%\Start Menu and C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Start Menu or %userprofile%\Start Menu All Users Start Menu: Refers to the start menu common for all users. User Start Menu: Refers to the start menu of that user. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
