There are two types of things that are displayed on your desktop:1) things that are on YOUR desktop 2) things that are on ALL USERS desktopMessing around with stuff on all users' desktop requires permission.This is normal in Vista; however, I imagine this will be a lot less painful in future versions of Windows.

Hi. No. All folders belongs to me. Besides, there's no other users. I create both folders bu tI can't move it. Microsoft has a lot of work in the near future. Is any sp coming up? At this point, I can't advise Vista purchasing to anybody. I'm sorry to microsoft. My vista reboots it self shows me blue screens, a lot of things are not compatible, software/hardware.I had XP for a lot of time and never my computer has reboots or blue screens. I never had a single problem with XP. Regards, Marco"Jimmy Brush" wrote:

Yes ... but there is an area in vista called "all users" desktop, which is where programs put things that they want to be available to every user on the system.If you want to modify things in this area, you need to confirm with the system that you are an administrator. You should be able to move it by accepting a prompt for permission. JB Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/UserWindows Vista Support Faq jimmah.com/vista/
