Greetings Gman ! and Eddie B,
and thanks for yr invaluable advice.
However, I do not KNOW which account I have booted into, and sometimes it's
different depending on which boot I am wearing.
Is it REALLY NECCESSARY for me to have all these different Desktops?? and if
not, how do I delete all except ONE (without deleting the stuff recorded
under the others??)

'supposed' to see is the one associated directly with the 'User Account'
you've booted into at the time. So, if you boot into your personal
'R.M.B.White' account, you'll be using the one located at C:\Documents and
Settings\R.M.B.White\Desktop. This location of your hard drive is not
necessarily where 'everything' is stored, but it does contain the files used
by the registry that 'personalize' that User account's visual, auditory,
etc.experience. If your Desktop is experiencing an issue where it can't
remember which one it is supposed to provide at bootup (i.e. you boot into
Windows as 'R.M.B.White' and it shows the Administrator Desktop wallpaper),
then your system appears to be afflicted with a severe personality disorder.
On the other hand, if you simply get a different Desktop by logging in under
different accounts, that is a perfectly reasonable experience since each
Usercan easily be set up with different options. Does this
explanation/disclosure point us in any specific direction other than down?
