Windows 7: Stop from sharing desktop items

Stop from sharing desktop items

Hi,



How can I stop different users from sharing icons? E.g. my friend downloads and uses "Weather Bug" I don't want it but it shows up on my desktop because he has it on his.

Thank you.

RE: Users sharing desktop icons - Vista Forums

This is the reason. My account desktops are all unique.

What one user downloads should not affect other accounts.

In windows 7 the path is ..users\Default\desktop it is a hidden operating system folder-so show hidden files must be checked.

To show hidden files/folders:
