Desktop shortcuts

[Guest]

Hello,, we have our computer set up so that everyone has their own log in
name and password. I have created a shortcut on my desktop that we would like
to have available to everyone who logs on to the computer. is there an easy
way to make this happen with just one shortcut. when I create more later I
don't want them to be placed on all desktops. hope this make sense.

Copy the shortcut to;
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

Shortcuts you wish to share with all the users of your computer
should be put in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

Shortcuts you wish to restrict should be placed in the
corresponding folder for the appropriate user account:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop

Good luck

Hi There,

Got a minor problem. On My Desktop Short Cuts the Icon and the name are
displayed as normal. However when my girlfriend logs on to her account on the
same computer the Short Cuts are in Bold.

How can this be changed into same display as mine. I have changed
Appearances etc on Display Properties and there appears no difference?

Hi Steve,

Check the settings here: Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options - Click
items as follows.

And/or: Transparent Icons:

Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/ Visual
Effects/"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"

Also:

Right click the desktop and select Arrange Icons by. Towards the bottom of
that list, uncheck "Lock web items on the desktop."

Desktop Text Color:

By default in XP, it can't be manually changed. The text changes on its own
from dark to light depending on the color of the background. It is based on
the Desktop color not the Wallpaper. The combo is whether or not you are
using a Wallpaper and what the Desktop color is.

However...if you have Use drop shadows checked for the icon labels,
the text will always be white no matter what color the background is.
