Shared shortcuts

New to Vista so this question may sound stupid. In XP, you can create
shortcuts in C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop and everyone who
logs on the computer will have access to these shortcuts. Can someone
please advise if this feature is available in Vista and how to create it?

Environment: muliple users sharing a work computer and need access to
shared files.

Yes you can

C:\Users\Public\Desktop

Follow the same procedure for creating the shortcut as you normally did in
XP. Either copy and paste or drag and drop.

Roget

The All Users\Desktop is now located at C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop.
This works the same way it did in XP. Any shortcuts you move there will
appear on all users desktop.
