Removing desktop icon from one account is removing from all accounts

Using XP Professional.
I want the Guest account to have only a few icons. The
other two accounts should have many more. When I remove
the icon from the guest account, the icon is also removed
from the other two. But when I installed software on the
guest account, the new desktop icon only appears on the
guest account.
Am I missing a setting?
Thanks!

The icon you are trying to delete might be located under "All Users"
profile. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users and see if it's there.
Move any icons you don't want others to see under specific user's profile.
