Wow, I feel stupid. &nbsp;I am fully aware of the All Users folder in XP but wasn't aware of the Default folder in 7. &nbsp;Once I showed hidden folders, it appeared. &nbsp;Thanks for the help.

We purchased some HP computers recently for the company and I have uninstalled all of the crapware except for one thing.  An MSN icon is placed on the desktop every time a new user logs into the computer.  

Is there a way to prevent that icon from installing with each new user?

I have included a screen shot.

Bonus question (not related and not important): how can I default the wallpaper to something other than HP branding?  I would like to use a company logo and the user can change it from there if they would like.
