whenever my daughter changes the wallpaper on her profile it also
changes the wallpaper on my profile and vice versa how can i solve
this?
 
Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

In the right-pane, inspect the "Wallpaper" Value data.

Close Regedit.exe and inspect the same value in your other user account.

Are both pointing to the same file ?

They are both pointing to C:\WINDOWS\Firefox Wallpaper.bmp
what do I do
 
This happens if both the user accounts use Firefox to set a background
image. The image file is stored in a common location, C:\Windows, rather
than storing the image within the user account.

The workaround is to save the image file locally, and then right-click and
choose Preview. Then set as desktop background using the context-menu option
in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
