2.) Pros/Cons of desktop icons Save/restore position when changing user?


Saving and restoring the position of desktop icons has both advantages and disadvantages. The decision whether to enable this feature depends on the user's individual needs. 


Advantages:



Time saving:
The user does not have to rearrange the desktop icons every time they log in.

Order:
The desktop icons always stay in the same place, resulting in a cleaner working environment.

Consistency:
Desktop icons are arranged the same for all user accounts, making collaboration easier.

Disadvantages:




Data storage space:
The location of desktop icons is saved to a file, which takes up additional storage space.

Security:
The location of desktop icons can be seen by other users if they have access to the user folder.

Many people find the “Save/Restore desktop icon position” feature very useful. This saves time and keeps your desk tidy. So I would recommend it if the user arranges their desktop icons regularly.
