multiple users/shortcut icons

• Programs for the shortcut icons on the desktop of the user different?

  My adult son and I are two Admins on what is basically a computer. I try to keep a very clean desktop so that I can easily find any new DOCS or IE shortcuts.
  We each have our own connections. He installed games with CD and when I connected and found new icons for its games on my desk, I deleted them. But then he told me that they had disappeared from HIS Office too, so we had to go out of the Recycle Bin.
  What is the only way that Windows XP work? I had always thought that each user has been mainly in charge of their own office, so it makes no sense to me.

  

  Everything you see on your screen is just a shortcut or icon of a folder on your system, and there is a folder on the desktop that applies to all users (everyone gets those) and another folder in the office that applies to all users for things that belong to them.

  When certain things are installed, they ask if you want the new program will be available for all users or just the current user (logged).

  If you install for all users, shortcuts and icons will settle in the all users desktop folder.

  If you install for just you, shortcuts and icons will settle in your desktop folder.

  What you see on your desktop, it's all desktop users folder and your desktop folder combined.

  What your adult son sees on his desk, is the all users desktop folder and its combined desktop folder.

  If you install and tell the facility to apply to all users, shortcuts and icons to put in the desktop folder for all users - everyone sees them.

  If the installed program shortcuts and icons in the all users desktop folder (and each user sees) and if you remove if from your office, you are also removing the all users desktop folder, then they are removed for everyone.

  What you see on your desktop being things just in a folder, you can navigate to your folder office and add/remove things from him, just like any other folder (and therefore cannot your adult son).

  If you have access to all the users desktop folder and add/remove things that will affect all the folder on the desktop.

  If your installed program does not require and has just put all the stuff in the all users desktop folder (so everyone sees them) and that you don't want to see such things, cut the shortcuts in the all users desktop folder and paste them into your grown son file and then only he will see them.

  Don't forget - what you see on your screen are just shortcuts and icons in a folder (s) that you can manipulate using including cut, copy, and paste.

• Execution of multiple user profiles does not not in Firefox 32.0.3

  Hello.

  I have several profiles user for work and private use. Today I decided to use Firefox for private use again (currently using Chrome for private use). Because on Chrome, the video is "pixelated" when video quality is superior to 720 p. Also for purposes of stability, if Firefox crashes, which happens frequently, I keep everything.

  In any case, I use the Profile Manager for execution of multiple user profiles.

  The problem is when I try to open a private profile when you're already running a work profile, it opens a new window of work profile, not a private.

  I use this shortcut: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla" P - by default - noremote
  The "default" profile is the work, I have a different shortcut, which is private:
  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla ' private Pei - noremote

  Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

• How to remove arrow shortcut icon on the desktop

  Although it is possible to remove the arrow, my recommendation is that
  you are not doing this. The arrows are an important
  function - provide quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you
  remove the arrows, you run the risk of substantial that sooner or later
  you delete something you want to keep, thinking that you were
  just remove a shortcut. I let the arrows that they are.

  Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

  According to me, there are situations that are valid for this.  I would like to remove the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop that I keep to certain folders.  I have file extensions on and do not keep the installers on the desktop, so I don't see the harm to remove the arrow of my shortcut 'Documents '.  I never think of Documents is actually stored on the desktop.  And if something, it only would make me more hesitant to delete a shortcut, no more likely to remove a real folder.  I plead to remove the arrow system, but it would be useful for specific desktop icons.  It's obviously the case, because Microsoft has decided to remove the arrow for "user files" folder is added through the control panel "Desktop Icon Settings".

• "Globe / icon" mysteriously takes the place of internet shortcut icons.

  I guess this question is an ongoing thing with other users of IE 8.  Whenever I have create a shortcut on my desktop from a Web site, either more personal websites shortcut icon or I get that I guess being an icon by default, for example a white dog-eared page with an 'E' blue in the Center.  Which should, however, after a short time or even a day or two, the icon changes in this 'blue and green globe' or an icon of the "Earth-like" of the same color or nature.

  In terms laymans, how can it be corrected, get rid of the blue and green globe icon, without having to personally go to change the files in the operating system of my computer.  I'm not and I guess a great many other users, are not a computer expert or a technician and we have enough trouble with this problem of "icon" without adding to our grief by changing orders that we do not know how to correct if something goes wrong.  Microsoft offers a download or maybe a fix for the problem of this icon of switching for those of us who are not so clever programming or to modify these commands?

  Loving Windows 7, but do not love shortcut icons that have a spirit that is clean!

  This problem occurs only on internet icons, although when you click it, you get the web page you wanted the shortcut to bring up, it's just that 'gawd awful' blue and green globe of the Earth that is the issue.

  In the meantime, I found a solution much simpler which does not require a lot of time and patience.  For those who still have the same problem that I once had, read on...

  • Right-click on the offending icon (globe blue and green, etc.)
  • When the window opens click on "Properties".
  • Left click on "change icon".
  • In the upper right corner of the left window click 'Browse '.
  • Scroll down until you see "url.dll.
  • Left click twice on "url.dll," then...
  • Left click on 'Apply' and then left click on 'OK' in the next or the next window and you should have all familiar white dog-eared page with the 'E' blue in the Center where the times "awful gawd" globe once.  I took care of all my blue and geen 'globe icons' last night (27/07/10) and they have yet to return.  Simple, clean and... effective now.

  Thanks for the timely response if I received on this post, it is appreciated. : o).

• When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen begins to blink and I have to do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

  * Original title: Steve M.

  I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop.  When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon.  When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

  I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle.  Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Although it is strange that the location of your documents is

  C:\Users\Steve\Doc

  Instead of

  C:\Users\Steve\Documents

  This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents.  The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:

  

  If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:

  

  As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it.  You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

  Hi Dan,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you are unable to open the shortcut icons on the computer.

  1. what happens when you try to open the icons?

  2. do you get an error message?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  Here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

  Method 1: Try to run fix it from the following link and check.

• El Capitan permissions bad for lib with multiple users

  On my Mac with multiple users and running El Capitan, I encountered a problem with an application (GoGlobal) failed to start with "errno = 13", which is a problem of permissions with usr/local/lib /.

  I determined that on Yosemite, usr/local/lib was owned by root and permissions: drwxr-xr-x. However, on El Capitan, usr/local/usr / local / lib lib is owned by one of the nicks (random?) and has permissions drwx-, which is the source of the errno = 13.

  I got around the problem by chmod 755 to lib /, but I fear that a future update will reset these permissions impassable previous values. Please correct these settings in install and update routines.

  GoGlobal isn't a request to Apple. You can send your message to the developer, who develops not only the Application itself, but the installation script that puts in place of its components.

• When there are multiple users e-mail of files that are on the left of the screen can be hidden by other users?

  There are several people who might want to use Thunderbird on a work computer, but I don't like how all the e-mail files are open to the public view. It looks like anyone can see the emails without having to log on the account of others.

  It is regrettable indeed, and I don't think it's a good idea.
  You can opt for individual profiles, but this doesn't quite work for multiple users.

• El Capitan server has been updated to allow multiple users to GUI?

  Good afternoon

  We currently use a mini Server mac to run our software controller of AFN and we want it to be so that several people can manage the server of the Mini on their own connections. Is it possible that several people to connect with their own credentials to remotely?  While the account running the controller software that is connected, my attempts just go on forever.

  Several GUI users can mean many different things, but I think that the case more suitable for you, the following means.

  • Yes, multiple users can connect remotely by using screen to your Mac server sharing
  • They can each use a different user account to authenticate their connection
  • If they use another user account to authenticate their screen sharing connection, they offered the possibility of initiating a separate session, you will then get a prompt similar to the following

  

  • You would choose "Log In" to get a separate user session

  Note: Some applications such as Apple Remote Desktop administrator do not like to be used by multiple users on the same computer at the same time, other Applications may be ok.

• Download gTranslate extension. How can I place a shortcut icon on the taskbar module at the bottom of the page so that I can use it?

  I added the gTranslate for Firefox extension. It is clearly shown in the list of current extensions that I have. I tried to place a shortcut icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the page module (back side where the page zoom-in/zoom icons are displayed).

  Procedure, I used: right click on the empty space on the toolbar at the bottom of page module. Click "Customize". Opens the square shape of the icons, but I don't see anything for the extension of gTranslate, I could "drag / drop" on the toolbar of the add-on.

• Private browsing on right context menu on the shortcut icon of Mozilla's Firefox on MS Win XP

  I am already aware that the Mozilla Firefox browser has the ability to always start Firefox in private browsing mode by putting the brand into its Options on...

  However, I noticed that on MS Win 7 OS, we can run Mozilla Firefox browser directly, by clicking on the right click (context menu right) on Mozilla's Firefox shortcut icon (for example in Windows taskbar and Start Menu) and here are the options available immediately: 'Enter private browsing', 'New tab' and 'open a new fenΩtre '.

  Now, my question is, can I do something that has the same options (or at least 'option to Enter private browsing), is also available on that even just before the track described as on MS Win 7 OS, but the MS Win XP operating system also?

  Thank you in advance for help!
  Best regards!

  Bruno.H.

  Create a shortcut on the desktop, and add the switch to the command line to start in private browsing mode.
