Hello, here's the setup.
Win XP home
5 profiles on the computer: me, ma, daughter and 2 grandkids
Everyone but me uses AIM (AOL Instant Message)
My problem.........when I logon in my profile AIM pops up on my start page
or my Outlook Express page. How do I remove AIM from my profile while
retaining it in the other 4 profiles.
I swear this is turning my hair gray.
Thanks for any help received,
Pappy
 
Hi Pappy,

Remove the shortcut icon from the allusers startup folder, place it in the
individual users startup folders:

From:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

To:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Where <username> is an account that you do want it to load in. Copy the
shortcut to all other users except your own.
