Do all users have to share the same desktop icons? We both share laptop but
have completley different needs..must we see each others on our personal
desktop page ?

Hi itsjustmepati,

No they don't. Each user sees what is on their own individual desktop AND
what is on the Public Desktop. The icons in question have probably been
installed on the Public Desktop, which enables them to be seen by all users
on theirs. All you need to do is to move them from the Public Desktop to the
desktop(s) of the required user(s). They can then be deleted from the Public
Desktop and will no longer appear on the desktop other than the one(s) that
you place it on. This can also be used the
other way round, to allow all users access to a program that only places its
icons on a single user's desktop. See below for details of the location of
the desktop folders. All of this assumes, of course, that you each have an
individual user account.

Path to Public Desktop:

C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop

Path to User's Desktop (<UserName> is the name of the user) :

C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop
