Different Themes for Different WinXP Users--Is this possible w/ Object Desktop?
Friday, November 1, 2002 by GM_03 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Using some of the great downloads on this site, I customized a personalized theme for me. Now, sometimes I have friends come over and use my computer and I usually log them on as a Guest in Windows XP. Is it possible to create a different theme for them? How do I do it? I tried loging on as a Guest and changing the theme, but my personalized theme kept coming up.
Thx

I could be totally wrong but I think only administrators have access to programs that make changes.
If this is the case, then set up a user called Friends and use that instead of Guest and give them limited administrative privileges.

I tried this a few months back also. I wanted to set up a login for my daughter (she's 6) so she would have easier access to her games and stuff. So I picked out a DesktopX theme (which was a different screen resolution than mine, the admin's...this will come up later) and set her up. Then I simply changed her properties BACK to "restricted" (I set her up as an Admin so that I could set her desktop and stuff). Here's what happened:
1. Both of our logins had to SHARE the same resolution (unacceptable, because she has trouble reading the tiny fonts I use).
2. If I remember correctly, the DesktopX theme would also revert.
Someone had mentioned some sort of "feature" of WinXP that I was missing, but I can't remember exactly what was said.
