I just installed XP Pro I love it. But.... I am having trouble setting it up so that what I put on my desktop the other users on the pc cant see. as it stands now everyone can see and delete files from everyones desktop. i was under the impression that when you had seperate logins you wouldnt have to worry about that

Any help that you can give please advise.
 
Are your computers networked? Go to the Network catagory to see if there are answers there, if not, post your question there. Hope someone can help.

You need a number of things for this to happen
i) use NTFS for the file system on the disk
ii) passwords for each user account, so that people cannot log on as others
iii) don't make everyone admin (or that defeats the two things above).
