Different Themes for Different WinXP Users--Is this possible w/ Object Desktop?

from WinCustomize Forums
Using some of the great downloads on this site, I customized a personalized theme for me. Now, sometimes I have friends come over and use my computer and I usually log them on as a Guest in Windows XP. Is it possible to create a different theme for them? How do I do it? I tried loging on as a Guest and changing the theme, but my personalized theme kept coming up.

Thx

You cannot customize an icon theme across different users, but everything else on the PC (from the Stardock apps at least) should allow you to have a custom set running under the other users if you install the apps under there as well.

What specifically are you doing?

I could be totally wrong but I think only administrators have access to programs that make changes.

If this is the case, then set up a user called Friends and use that instead of Guest and give them limited administrative privileges.

I tried this a few months back also. I wanted to set up a login for my daughter (she's 6) so she would have easier access to her games and stuff. So I picked out a DesktopX theme (which was a different screen resolution than mine, the admin's...this will come up later) and set her up. Then I simply changed her properties BACK to "restricted" (I set her up as an Admin so that I could set her desktop and stuff). Here's what happened:

1. Both of our logins had to SHARE the same resolution (unacceptable, because she has trouble reading the tiny fonts I use).

2. If I remember correctly, the DesktopX theme would also revert.

Someone had mentioned some sort of "feature" of WinXP that I was missing, but I can't remember exactly what was said.
