Vista - accounts - how to remove shortcuts from office (shortcuts to programs!) for an account without removing the program for another account.

Help Cher,

(1) I have the following accounts on my Vista Premium PC (Quad Core). Dad, Dad & mum, kidA, kidB. Some programs have a shortcut on multiple accounts, but these accounts do not have. It makes the overworked office. So I go to their desktop computer, press the shortcut and choose Delete. But it seems inevitable not to delete the program anywhere.

(2) another point not clear to me, is that I expected to find items on the desktop to the C:\users\accountname or the D:\users\accountname. However, Dad's account is not present. Instead I find in the two readers on these posts my old account 'Eddy Kunnen', only in drive D the appropriate shortcuts are present under the desk. And the EddyKunnen account is also the only one on the D drive. I should find all items on the desktop under player: \users\accountname\desktop? And if so what could be wrong that Ii this account is not renamed to Dad. Is it possible to get all the C:\users\ accounts. Without doubt, I did something wrong in the past?

Thank you in advance,

Sincerely,

Eddy

Hello

(1) desktop shortcuts are related either to the user or to all users. This means either:

C:\Users\\Desktop (where is the name of the account)

or

C:\Users\Public\Desktop

If a shortcut is located in the first folder, then it is specific to this user account. If in the second, it is common to all, so any action taken on this subject will apply to all accounts. If you don't want it in all accounts, copy it to the desktop folder corresponding to for those you do and remove of that Public.

(2) you can change the name on an account, but it will not change the name of original in C:\Users. In other words, if the user creates an account, he will be under C:\Users\UserA. If subsequently, they changed their name to UserB, the real profile will always be under C:\Users\UserA regardless of the change of name, you cannot change this file name, only the friendly name of associated account. Thus, you cannot "relocate" the user account record without breaking a lot of things.
