My Icons Keep Disappearing?
I am the main user on my Dell Inspiron N5040 running Windows 7. Occasionally my mom gets on her account to do stuff. She doesn't log off so I check her account for anything unwanted. and I find that some of my application icon shortcuts are on her desktop. Since she won't use them I delete them. But when I go back to my account, the icons that I deleted from her account have been deleted from mine.
I thought user accounts were like having different PCs inside one PC. this is very aggravating, how do I fix this?

Hi Levi,
I work for Dell's Social Media Team. It could be that both Accounts have Administrative Rights. When setting up a user name, you have an option to give Administrative rights to a User Name. Try creating a test user account by going to control panel, user accounts, and do not give it Admin Rights, and try and check.
Thank you.
