Hi
When I install a game for my daughter the shortcut for it also appears on all user's desktops. My wife hates having shortcuts on her desktop other than those she specifies and so deletes them; they then vanish from all the desktops.
Surely the point of individual desktops is that each person can have what they want.
Is there any way of overcoming this problem? To add or delete shortcuts on a per-user basis? There seems to be no options or controls for this under 'personalise'.
XP had the 'unused shortcut wizard' that you could invoke to do it; but I can't find mention of this task/problem anywhere in the help files.
New machine with Home Premium factory installed.
Thanks MarkS

Hi Mark,
Move the shortcuts from the shared default to the user's own desktop. From here:
C:\Users\Public\Desktop
To here:
C:\Users\<daughter>\Desktop
Best of Luck,

Thanks for the response Rick I shall try that at once.
(But why can't an OS this big do something so simple?)
Cheers MarkS

It is up to the developer to write the program properly, The OS has nothing to do with it. "Rick Rogers"
