THE SYSTEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH: Under Windows 95, and Windows 98, you can find the per-user desktops in c:\windows\profiles\username\desktop. The desktop that you get when you hit cancel instead of logging in locally to a windows machine is at c:\windows\desktop Under Windows 2000, the per-user desktops are in "c:\documents and settings\username\desktop\". There is a default user in "c:\documents and settings\default user\desktop" but I believe this may just be the user who is a template for any new users created, considering that Windows 2000 is far more keen on usernames than Windows 98 or 95. THE SYSTEMS I DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH: I believe that Windows NT 4.0 uses the same style as Windows 95 and 98. I suspect that Windows XP uses the same style as Windows 2000. I have no idea about Windows ME, so look for yourself. I just told you where the locations are, your milage may vary - on upgraded systems (particularly XP) if you don't find it in one place, you may find it in the other. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
