Change desktop view for different accounts


Recommended Posts

I am just setting up an account for my wife's use. All she wants is to be able to Access the net, type the odd letter and view e-mails. I've created the account for her but the desktop is identical to mine, as administrator shows all the short cuts. She hated this on XP. I'll try and do some searching but if anyone can help I'd be grateful as it would fit with my lazy attidude.

May have cracked it. Set up a password for my account as administrator. Created a new account for Missus and low and behold her desktop shows a minimum number of icons, just Open Office Firefox and Thunderbird and a couple of others; just what she needs. Never bothered before because it used to take so long to switch from one account to another. This Win 7 x 64 seems to be lightening fast.

No that wasn't the problem. She didn't like all the icons on my desktop. She found them confusing. All she wants is for her desktop to the absolute minimum number of icons. All she wants is to go onto the net for shopping, knock out the odd letter and e-mails. For me I'm always sorting and re-arranging my desktop to suit my current needs.

That's for spares n standby. Anyway I have suggested that she have a laptop then she could go on the net whenever she wanted to. But that's ruled out she couldn't handle the small keyboard. Anyway she can always use this one, she simply orders me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
