In many homes, more than one person uses a single computer. windows XP is the first Microsoft operating system designed for home use that will allow each user to have his or her own individual profile and settings.

One big advantage of individual profiles is that is now possible to provide a customized start menu for each user. You may want to disable "System Tools" from your childs profile or prevent certain applications from launching automatically except for when you log in. Unfortunately, windows XP does not provide an simple way to configure the start menu and startup applications. Customizing applications for each user often requires more time and patience than most people care to invest.

The XP App Wizard provides a solution to this problem. The wizard allows you to selectively enable or disable start menu items and startup applications user-by-user.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why doesnt my user account display in the XP App Wizard?

A users profile gets created the first time he or she uses the computer. If a user has never logged on to the computer, then the profile will not have been created. The XP App Wizard cant find the profile and ignores the user.
If your machine is connected to a domain, the domain user accounts will not appear in the XP App Wizard. The wizard will only configure local machine accounts. Remember that the XP App Wizard is targeted toward home computers using the fast user switching feature built into windows XP. Fast user switching is incompatible with windows NT domains.
The application doesnt appear when I start it! How do I get it back?
The XP App Wizard remembers the size and position of its window between sessions. If you accidentally close the application when the window is off the edge of the screen, you wont be able to see it the next time the application is started. Hold the "Shift" key down while starting the application and the window size and position will be restored to its original state.
