I noticed other people ask for help all the time here, but I've always tried to avoid doing so. I'm afraid thought that I can't seem to find a way to fix my problem and I'm having trouble phrasing my question right on google.

I have Windows XP and have two seperate accounts on it. One is the owner/admin, the other is not. My problem is that whenever I wish to change the wallpaper on one account, it changes it for the other as well. It will do this whether from the owner account or from the other.

It only started doing this just recently, and the only change I've made to my computer is the installationg of some free anti-virus/spyware/firewall software given to me by Roadrunner. Before this, I believe it changed wallpapers normally, as in, seperately.

The software might be the problem, but I don't wish to uninstall seeing as how every time I let down my security I immediately contract at least 2 dangerous viruses. I think I have some well hidden trojans buried in my system or something. X/

Can anyone help me?

I'm pretty sure if you password the account you want to change the wallpaper of, it wont change on the other one.
Because when you password it, you can choose to make "my documents" private, or inaccessible to other users.

You can now have a wallpaper of your favourite porn star, or model for that sake, without your daddy knowing. ;)
PS passwording the account might make the other users on the commputer suspicious. But there probably isn't anything to worry about, keke.

Ahaha, actually it's my sister who keeps changing the wallpaper to an undesirable photo. Some ambercrapie and fucth photo shoot of the crotch of three guys. /sighs

I think she changed it so that she's also a "Computer Administrator" instead of just a "Limited" user. I guess I'll just have to keep changing it back until she gets sick of it.

Change it back, password her account so she can't log in unless you help her.

Put a thumb needle in the computer seat when your not on it!
