RE: Where is the Security setup inXPfolderoptionscomparedtoNT/W2K ?

Icons, Programs items, etc., can come from multiple places. This is standard in Windows since there were separate users - at least Win 98. There are some for "All users", which appear - DOH - for all users. There are others that are specific to you. It looks as if those put in by Administrator were actually "All users" items - unless you inherit admin's stuff by being in that group? The last is pure conjecture.

That's what I was afraid of John. I tell you what, about EVERYTHING I
normally do in W2K that I have tried to do in XP Home has been a hassle. I
mean in W2K if you want to add something to automatically startup all you do
is click on Start/Settings/Task & Start Menu/Advanced/Add. There is NOTHING
like this in XP Home. We have one other XP Pro PC here and it is in there
just fine. What normally takes me 30 minutes to setup is going on almost 2
days now. Unreal.

I was trying to delete icons on the "user" Desktop and it said I couldn't as
the user. So I switch over and make the user Administrator and STILL can't
do it. So on a whim I delete them from the my account that I setup on this
PC as an Administrator and wallah - they are gone when I switch over to the
User. Of course this can be good and bad. Before the Desktop was unique by
account... Unreal again...

Thanks for you help though !
