How to keep user desktops separate in windows 7?
Last response: in Windows 7
my sister downloads 4-5 games a week that always appear on my computer desktop. she has an administer account that i think she needs to download the games. when i delete her games from my desktop, they disappear from hers. please in simplest language, make our accounts separate.

You need to install the programs for only the one user, but not all programs have that option. Otherwise you have to manually move the icons form the "All Users" Desktop folder to the specific account Desktop folder. The user accounts are separate, but there are areas where you can create things that all accounts see, which is where those icons are being put.

Of course it would be easier to try and remove her as an admin... but something tells me that would cause more family strife than necessary.
