I have two users set up on XP home Edition. I deleted
various icons from the desktop of the non-admin user, and
they were removed from the other desktop as well. How can
I delete on one, and not the other.
 
In addition to each user's own account, Windows XP has an 'All Users'
account which has its own Start menu and desktop. The desktop that you see
is the combination of the All Users desktop and your own. If the icons you
deleted were set up in the All Users account then they are removed for all
users.

Yo see this, open My Computer and your system partition (normally the C:
drive.) Now open the Documents and Settings folder and you'll see the
different accounts.
