Win XP doubling desktop icons?
Hi, I have a problem that is kind of annoying me. Whenever I install something I end up with 2 desktop icons instead of one
 It started when I installed the second user on my PC, me as aministration account and my nephew as normal guest account. He was not supposed to get all icons... now on his account they are double as well... does anybody now how I can fix this? thanks Last edited by Tedra; 07-11-2008 at 01:40 PM. |

Re: doubling desktop icons?
Hello Tedra,
do you have 2 user accounts on this pc? it sounds like you are getting an Icon on your desktop then the all users desktop. thus the reason for 2 icons.

Re: doubling desktop icons?
Wow, this is an old thread!
So...what programs are we talking about here? Where are the icons appearing? On the desktop? Can you show us a screenshot?
