  I have not seen this behaviour.

  If you look into "C:\Documents and Settings", you'll see that each user 
account has its own desktop, start menu, and so on.  There are a couple of 
special entries, though.  "Default User" is what gets copied when a new 
account is created.
  "All Users" gets merged with the account individual settings.  MOST of 
your Start Menu shortcuts are (and should be) under this entry and not under 
your personal account.  Make your folders, etc, within this entry.
