What do you mean by general access? Access to read the files it serves? Access to create files to be served? Access to configure the server? And in what way do mean by your desktop? A short cut to something? Are you referring to your user account? To my mind the desktop is nothing but the screen background where you're able to place some icons and windows open up in front of it. It's a very poor term to describe things by, as it means so many different things to different people. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
