When in the user specific section, you are setting the icon setup and options for that particular user when you go into those dialogs. You are also "turning on this feature" for the user if you choose user specific versus non-user specific. Basically, there are multiple VISUAUTO.INI and VISUFILE.INI files. The files in the Windows directory represent the non-specific user settings. The other VISUAUTO.INI and VISUFILE.INI files are placed in directories set by the registry entry
Hkey_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Programs
Whatever path is specified in this registry key, will have a subdirectory under it called Secure Desktop with files in that directory called VISUAUTO.INI and VISUFILE.INI.
If the VISUAUTO.INI file is not found, the Windows\VISUAUTO.INI file will be used. If the Current User Only check box is un-checked for that user, the Windows\VISUAUTO.INI file will be used.
To help you realize which file you are editing or using, we have put the user's name in the title of both the setup and the options dialog when editing, if it's the current user's file. When running Secure Desktop, the user's name will be in the title bar if using the current user's file, otherwise nothing is shown. In Windows 98/ME we dig the username from Hkey_Local_Machine\Network\Logon\username. In Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP we dig the name from
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\DefaultUserName.
Windows 98/ME
If you don't see the User Specific section, you need to do the following:
In the Control Panel, go into the Passwords dialog, and go the User Profiles tab as shown:
Be sure that the information is set just like this dialog box (include desktop icons check box is optional). After rebooting the system, the Current User Only check box should be visible.
Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP
The User Specific section should always be visible, as there is always a current user in NT4/2000/2003/XP.
