The Desktop each of you sees are really two folders.
When Laurel is logged on they see both
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
and
C:\Documents and Settings\Laurel\Desktop
When Hardy is logged on they see both
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
and
C:\Documents and Settings\Hardy\Desktop
Move the shortcuts out of
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
to the appropriate folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Laurel\Desktop
or
C:\Documents and Settings\Hardy\Desktop

There are two users of Windows XP on one computer. Some newly
installed programs create shortcuts on both users' desktops. If a
user who doesn't need that program deletes the shortcut from his
screen, it is also deleted from the other user's screen. How can we
individualize the set of shortcuts on each of our screens without
disturbing the other?
