Modify My Page changes Shared View too

I don't know what is wrong but we learned the hard way that if someone
adds something in their personal view by using Modify My Page it
actually adds it to the shared page and everyone can see it. We
tested this on several user's logins with the same results.

For example, if someone adds a link on their personal view of the
shared page, it shows up on everyone's shared page. Is this by
design, or should it really only show up on this person's personal
view. We also tried to add another link web part to the personal view
and minimized the main one to put our own links in the new web part
but it bought into it the links from the first web part and made
changes to both web parts when we added new links.

Another problem I've run into is that if I try to create a new site
page and drag in a web part from the web part list that is used on my
main page it will not only add the web part, but it will also include
all the items already in that web part (the list items). I don't want
the list items included, I want a new version of that web part with an
empty list in my new page.

Do I have some setting wrong? Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is a fresh Windows 2003 Standard install, with SPS 2003 fresh
install, on a dual 2.8 Ghz processor server with 4 gig ram. Only
other item running on this server is Tomcat for another application.
We are running in NT domain mode, with domain controller on another
server, and SQL Server 2003 sp3a on another machine on the network.
We are running under SSL. The only customization I've made is to the
css page and used frontpage 2003 to modify the outlay of the page.

Thanks!

Linda
