  1. 'other account' rearranged and removed my accounts icons.


    I am the admin on my machine signed in with my MS account. My accounts desktop was littered with icons linking to my games and other assorted apps and programs. I just set my mom up with a LOCAL account under 'other Users'. When I sign into her local account I find a lot of MY programs that she won't use on the desktop, so I move them to a folder on her desktop. In doing so, it asked for the admin pin. Now that I'm signed back into my account, the admin, I see that over half of MY desktops icons are now missing. I switched back to the local account and tried to undo the move to the folder and then back to my account but that didn't unhide my icons. How is this a thing? How can a separate account rearrange or remove programs that weren't installed on their account? How can a local account and their desktop affect the admins desktop? I always assumed that each account and how they arrange their shit was solely for their account and no one else's. How can I undo the damage? And how can I prevent it from happening again?

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Rearranging the Order of E-Mail Accounts


    I have six e-mail accounts established in my Windows 10 Mail. It appears the accounts are listed in the order they were created. However, I just had to add another e-mail account and it is at the bottom of the list. Is there any way to rearrange the list? In Windows 8.1 you could move the accounts up and down in the order that you wanted them listed. The procedure used in Windows 8.1 does not work in Windows 10.
