How can I prevent the desktop icons move arround whenever a different profile is open?
We have windows vista with 2 user profiles that are the main ones used.
How can I add/remove/move the desktop icons on my profile without moving/remove on the profile of other people?
What is the point of having 2 different profiles, so everything I do on my effects profile profile of others?
also is it possible to add/remove programs (games, downloads) without doing the same for the other profile of people?
Hi JexterMaxim,
1. what type of user accounts that you use?
2. don't you log on as an administrator?
3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?
When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.
Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
(a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
(b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.
When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.
To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
c. delete the original shortcut.

How can I pin the desktop icon in the taskbar
Before I bought my new computer with windows 8, I used to have the desktop icon in my taskbar (very useful for when I have a lot of windows open at the same time and need to access the icons on my desktop). I would click on the desktop icon in the taskbar and hey presto all other open windows minimize all without the need to reduce to a minimum to each of them individually. Ideal for quick hide all open files! However, I can't figure out how to get the desktop icon in my taskbar in windows 8. Can anyone help?
Windows key + M does the same thing. Also move the mouse to the lower right of the task bar is also.

How can I lock the desktop icons?
I can't LOCK the icon on my desktop items. I clicked right on the desktop and via the locking elements checked properties, but they are easily moved and NOT locked. I tried to lock in "Appearances and themes", but they will NOT lock. How can I get that they cease to move and stay put locking. Any help would be graciously appreciated. And, no, I'm not changing my resolution I know moves them.
Hi there, have you tried? Click with the right button on a blank space on your desktop, highlight the icons on the desktop, check on "locking up icons" and organize the uncheck'auto?

I use symbolic links and shortcuts of programs as a way to easily open different Firefox profiles IE. one for casual/personal use and the other for work. It works well, but I get the error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" if I try to open external links with FF as my default browser. FF is actually open and works very well, but I guess that it does not recognize this fact due to how I started the beginning of the process.
I could not add executables symbolically related to the component of default program. Is there a way to get around this error or another way to solve this problem?
The solution to the question below, it's what I use to open the different profiles of FF.
