Customizing shell folders
By default Windows has no a possibility to customize Shell Folders. For example,
you can not assign the same desktop for any first two users and different
desktop for third user. Only separate shell folders can be assigned for each
user. It is impossible to make a common shell folder such as Desktop for two or
more users if you use standard Windows tools.

realize it. You can customize not only Desktop, but also Favorites, Recent
Documents, My Documents, Start Menu, Programs, Startup, Network Neighborhood and
other Windows Shell Folders.
