That isn't odd at all. Just the way it's worked out for you.

Just as an experiment, navigate to Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop.
Right click in the right hand pane, point to New and click Text Document.
See if you can see New Text Document.txt on both account's Desktops.

That's yet more interesting/puzzling. Yes, Logged on as Administrator and doing as you say from W. Explorer, a text file appears on the actual Desktop as it does on the User's Account actual Desktop.
However, from W. Explorer it only appears in Docs & Settings\All Users\Desktop folder and no others.
If I then do the same -create txt file- on the actual Admin's Desktop it also appears in the appropriate folder via W. Explorer.
So now although on the actual Admin's Desktop I have textfile1 & textfile2 showing, from within the folder there is only textfile1!
Where's the sense in that?
BTW, I realize this is a trivial subject but it's puzzling to me nonetheless.
