RE: separate user accounts and settings

Thanks for your reply, Jeff, but to be more clear, it's not only shortcuts,
but toolbars on internet explorer, the movement of icons on the desktop,
downloaded programs from the internet, and having a program open on one side,
and not being able to use it on the other side. (itunes for example) I have
yet to run into a program that asked me "just for me" or "for all users of
this computer". Thanks, but I'm still stuck!!
