Other user accounts can see items on the desktop on my user account?

Hello

If I save something in my office, sign out, and then someone else use my PC and sign as themselves. Can they see what I recorded on my desk?
Thank you
Sarah

Hi SarahWest,

No, they will not see items that you have saved on your desktop in your user account.  Each user account has unique settings and preferences.  See the following article for more information:

I hope this helps!

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Windows XP can't find MSCONFIG, but I can SEE it in the right place!

    Dear anyone.

    I can SEE MSCONFIG in the right place - it's here.

    Directory.

    Thing IS - XP does not.  If I click on it, directly from the folder above, it starts and runs like a dream. If I go to start/run and type in msconfig, it tells me that it can't find it.

    OK, I created a shortcut and click the shortcut so problem solved this way - but I would like to know windows WHY himself can't find it even if it is in its folder right and if it could mean there are other things upward with my Windows I don't know! (Paranoid Pete calling!)

    Hi placebow,

    Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. On the general tab, click single-click to open an item. (To return to the standard click, click double-click to open an item.)

    The setting applies not only at the office, but also in other areas of the shell.

    anesvet,
    I'm going to sound like I'm repeating myself tonight... (see previous 4 posts...)  but try this:

    When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options.  Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps.  If this does not work, try to F * then try to go to Safe Mode.  If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow".  QQ learn manage!

  • I saved the files to dropbox from the CC of Photoshop to the trial but now they have disappeared. I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist? Is it because I have saved on the trial?

    I saved files to fropbox of the CC of the Photoshop of the trial and now they have disappeared.  I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist. Any ideas as to where they went?

    If the PS says that the files no longer exist, you probably renamed, moved or deleted.

    Use your operating system (Win Explorer or Mac finder) to watch your Dropbox folder and veryfy that the files are there.

    The fact that you are using a trial has nothing to do with it.

  • What role I give to a user so that he can see applications in the Regional service console?

    The user belongs to a group of security administration who has access to all applications, but it can't see applications in the EA.

    When you say that the user group has 'access to all applications', exactly what role Essbase is granted on this request?  The group / user has also the role of "Server Access" on the Essbase Server?

    In addition, just to make sure, when say you that he 'can't see the apps in EAS' can he see the Essbase server, but no application, or do the Essbase server not at all?  What attracts people all the time - when new users start using EAS the Essbase server must be associated with their EAS accounts manually.  It is in the right click menu off "Essbase Servers".

  • My laptop running on VISTA can see my desktop running on XP Media but I can't get to the desktop.

    I think the problem is with the firewall on the desktop computer.  I get Windows cannot start the ICS service.  I have reset the winsock.

    Using a router or ICS? Is this a new problem or are you unable to put in place the file/printer between two computers share? If the latter:

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • If I use XP as a server and I'm an admin, I can see what programs the workstations are running?

    I want to know if employees use a computer for games & online communication.

    I don't know exactly what you're asking.  If the workstations are running programs that are located on your server, then Yes, you can see which files are open on your server:

    Right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> System Tools->-> open files, shared folders

    If you want to see the processes that are currently active on other computers, you can use a tool such as "PsList.exe" that can produce a list of active processes on a computer connected to the network, given that you have administrator credentials on the other computer.  PsList is a program in the suite programs PsTools:
