Dear Jim;
The reason why is that in Windows 2000, NT, and XP environments,
there are "profile" directories under the "Documents and Settings"
directory that house all of the local settings for each profile. These
settings are all kept separate from the others in an attempt to give
Windows a more individualized environment where each profile can
truly create their own customized environment which doesn't change
the settings for the other profiles.
A good example is desktop settings. In Windows 95/98, this structured
environment was not present so if I logged on and made my icons on
the desktop the way that I wanted, when you logged on, you would see
my icons. Thus, if you made changes, when I logged on, my desktop
would be changed.
It makes for a truly individualized environment for each user that has a
profile created.
Best Regards,
Mike Willochell
