Oh - unless you upgraded your OS before instead of a clean install (and
those applications were installed prior to the upgrading of the OS) - then
that would explain why (if you did before) you saw the icons in what you
deemed to tbe the correct folder (yours) and not "All Users".
Windows XP - Multi-User OS - whether actually used by one person or many.
