Desktop Icons with multiple users

[Guest]

This may have been asked before but I could not find it anywhere. I am
wanting to find out how to have one user delete an icon and have it not
affect another user. I have a login for us (parents) and one for the kids
but I want to give the kids next to nothing to use, only what I allow them to
but I still want the icons on our login. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

It's a function of the file structure. If you want an icon to appear for
everyone, place it in the All Users folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

If you only want it for certain accounts, place it in their user profile
folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Start Menu\Programs

Items in the All User folders can be acted on/deleted by any account,
whereas those in the user's personal folders will only be affected by thier
own actions.
