This has probably been described, but...does each user in
XP Home edition have their own set of desktop icons? I
deleted an icon on my desktop, logged off and logged on as
another user and that icon was not there; user 2 icons =
user 1 icons. Where do I set up the desktop for each user?

See the C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS folder. You can find a subfolder for
each user profile here and an ALL USERS folder, which applies to all
profiles. Each of these folders contains a DESKTOP folder. Common
Desktop items go to ALL USERS\DESKTOP, personal ones into the DESKTOP
folder for the corresponding user.
