What is it you are trying to do?

If trying to allow all users of a computer to see certain items on the
desktop/start menu - then you need to work with the "All Users" profile.

If you just need to add a few things to a certain users desktop - then
sure - you can do what your question seems to be asking pretty easily.

%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\ (usually C:\Documents and Settings\)
contains all of the user profiles (desktops, start menus, etc) by default in
Windows XP. You can - as an administrator on a system - copy from one
account to another with ease.

For example: C:\Documents and Settings\USERA\Desktop\ --> C:\Documents and
Settings\USERB\Desktop\ could be done, etc.

Thank you! I think that's exactly what I am looking for: the easy way!

By "-->" I assume you mean copy and paste
