Shared pc desktop
 

Probably a bit late to ask now, as XP seems on its way out, but its what I
have and like (XP Pro)

I share a pc with my wife, we log on separately, no problem.
I ask as to why, and how my desktop icons clutter her desktop up, and ask
how I can get rid of them on her "side".
No real issue with the icons, just fills her screen up.

Emimec,

I ask as to why, and how my desktop icons clutter her desktop up

Why ? Either arrogance or lazyness. Arrogance of a software shop to think
everyone on a computer must be wanting their software, lazyness because its
easier not to bother with individual users workspace.

How? Because there is (on XP) a "C:\Documents and settings\All
users\Desktop" folder, and anything put there is visible to everyone.

how I can get rid of them on her "side".

Easiest method ? Remove everything outof that above folder (you can
recreate links to the applications onto your own desktop).
Next-best thing? Move all the links to your own "desktop" folder
("C:\Documents and settings\[your name]\Desktop") and weed out (throw aeay)
everything you do not need.

Hope that helps,
Rudy Wieser
