Flip Desktop Shortcut Items 
	June 14 2003

Experienced users who understand how Windows houses shortcuts on the Desktop should only use this utility. And understands what All Users and Current User mean. The basic premise of this utility is to Flip the explicitly selected Desktop items in the chosen list to the other list. In this case there are two lists. The Desktop Shortcuts for All users and Desktop Shortcuts for Current user. Keep in mind if you flip items from the All User list to the Current User list then those items will no longer be listed in the All User List once Flip Desktop Shortcut Items has been shutdown. Hence you can only at this time Flip items from the All Users list to only one Current User. Plus the Current User should have administrative privileges for registry read/write access to the startup items. And full permissions to the Startup folders.

To use first choose which list you want to Flip from by clicking on one of the two text items you see in the center left and center right of the Flip Desktop Shortcut Items

Flip All To Current 
	(Will flip the chosen items in the "Desktop Items for all users" list to the ""Desktop Items current all user" list) 
Flip Current to All 
	(Will flip the chosen items in the Desktop Items for current user" list to the Desktop Items for all users" list) 

Flip All To Current is the default.

Hence the list that you see that has the check boxes in it is the list that will be the one that is Flipped will come from. Just place a check mark by the items you want to Flip and then click on the "Apply" button. If you make a mistake then use the
Flip All To Current 
or
Flip Current to All 
choices to select in the list that the Flip went to and put a check mark by the item or items you did not mean to Flip and then click the "Apply" button again to reverse the mistake.

Note the changes you see is real time, which is to say the shortcuts in the Desktop folders have been moved when you click the "Apply" button. So be sure of your changes before shutting down Flip Desktop Shortcut Items.
