My profuse appologies! I should've considdered your time before
having my desktop break.
Oh, and not to mention the politeness of me thanking those who's
suggestions have been helpful, ---- how careless and nasty of me of
to offer my thanks.
Btw, if you have no interest in a thread, don't read it! it's the
moderators job to say when a thread has or has not continued beyond it's time.

It just shows that obviously all the Audiogame dev's had their
heads screwed on regarding user accounts.
About multi-user environments in general, i personally would give
a lot to have precisely the opposite option.
I've always used my own computers myself, and been the only
person doing so. In fact other than buisnesses or institutional
networks I'd always advocate one person use their own computer if
at all possible sinse that way they get most familiar with things
(my mum, who is a novice computer user, and my brother who is
very advance had extreme problems in this manner when they
attempted to share a desktop using multiple accounts).
My mum as a consequence has no idea of basic file structure or

I even managed to run it in default windows profile.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Glad to see you have the problem under control. As for the
missing icons there really isn't anything strange about that
really. Some programs install icons to your local user account's
start menu folder rather than globally to the default start menu
folder. The end result is if you create a new account the icons
come up missing. The easiest way to fix that little problem is
to copy those icons from the local start menu folder to the
default "all users" start menu folder. Once you do that it
doesn't matter if you have 1 or 100 user accounts they all have
access to the icons.
As it happens you aren't the only one that has user account woes
in this area. Unlike Linux developers that always assumes a
multiuser environment far too many Windows developers program
software for a single user environment. For those of us who run
Windows in a multiuser environment it gets to be a pain, because
there really isn't any excuse to program software for a single
user environment. With the release of Vista and Windows 7
Microsoft beginning to kick developers in the butt, and letting
them get use to the idea of programming for a multiuser
environment. The only problem is it is hard to break developers
of bad habbits formed ages ago.
Smile.
