With XP each user can decide if they want to use windowblinds and they can each have their own seperate theme. You just have to use the logon screen.

This has been asked before. Since I don't have multiple personalities on my puter, I don't have the need for it. But, if someone who knows how to do it could explain the steps, I'm sure others would be interested. I actually had a another personality for awhile and I tried it with CursorXP and I couldn't get it to work. I had to stop using the other personality as a warning by my doctor. The idea of having my arms strapped across my chest frightens me.

well on my XP Pro box I just installed it once then opened it on each user account and then set the skin for each. Works just nicely.
DesktopX did the same.
Iconpackager will apply the same icons across all users.
I had seperate ObjectDock installs ( not sure about plus since my fiance's dock is simple she still uses the freeware version )
CursorXP you can apply different themes if you use the mouse control panel. Works fine.

well you have me rolling with laughter on that one...
maybe you will get lucky enough to have DID/MPD some say and you'll find the humor in it also?
no wait, it took almost 17 years of sexual/psychical/verbal abuse for me to be that lucky not including the extra 10 years of continued constant verbal abuse with the odd relapse.
oh, and you forgot the PTSD, Self Injury, Suicidal Months on end, Agoraphobia and other neat little value added features which come with it also...

It depends on whether the proram was installed as available to all users of a PC, Maybe? I know some software ask that question, during install.
If you chose only to allow access via your profile, then you'll have to install it, and just make sure it goes into the same directrory, to avoid, multiple install locations and wasted disk space. When ever I build a dual boot machine I always do something similar. I install each, app to a neutral third partition, and then load each OS's programs to that partition, so ya get the same functionality in both OS's, without the overhead.

You need to install windowblinds through the administrators account. Then each user will be able to decide if they want to run wb or not and which theme. When switching users the themes will load by themselves. If all else fails just install through "safe mode". Its the same thing as the administrator account.
