Guest Gaspar Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Is there any way to configure Windows XP to allow different users use a single desktop, with a shared "My documents" folder, shared profile? Thanks.
Guest SteveL Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 RE: Unique desktop configuration for multiple users? Yes, login as each user, after it has created a profile for each, setup 1 user (let's call him user1) the way you want, logoff and login as admin then copy the profile (User1) to the other profiles and they would look identical, until they change it. To stop them from changing you must use the local policy and close down all features.

Guest Gaspar Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Re: Unique desktop configuration for multiple users? So, each time a different logs in I must repeat the process? Isn't an easiest way?

Let them all use the same account. Since they all have access to the same material there is no point in creating separate accounts.
