My wife and I have two seperate accounts, whenever I install a program under
my account gets installed in her user account our desktops look the same. My
question is, how do I fix this to where I install are uninstall a program it
dosen't get installed or removed from her user account?
 
Well actually you cant have 2 users like you would have 2 seperate
computers.
The only way to do this is to dual boot your computer with 2 OS (xp).
When you have 2 users:
If you install a program or uninstall it you will do it for both accounts.
However if you right click on the START button and
go to explore all users,
you will see the start menu for all users. Every program that is here is
visible to all users.
Further down you will see the other accounts and inside them their own start
menus.
If you have something in say JOE's start menu only then that program will be
visible only to that person.
So all you have to do is to copy paste the programs in the correct start
menu's of the users.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

A normal program is installed "to Windows", "not to a account"...

You can't usually uninstall it from your account and still leave it on
hers...

But, what you can do is to only remove the shortcut in the start-menu or
desktop... :-)
