My computer is using both user profile and all user profile to all my
profiles instead of half of the program files are from users profile and all
users profile. I'm seeing double icons on my desktop. Is there a registry
hack for this?

You're post is not very clear, but I would suggest you don't place the
the same icons in both locations.

There is one, but it also affects program shortcuts in the All Users\Start Menu folder, as well.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Look in the right pane for the value NoCommonGroups. If it exists, double click it and set its value to 1. If it doesn't exist, right click in a blank area of the right pane, select New, DWord value and name it NoCommonGroups. Change the value to 1.

Log off and log back on to the account you just modified.
