I have set up different user accounts for the rest of the family, however all the programs and icons in the administrators account (mine) are also on there's, I want to know how to remove these either delete or uninstall the ones they don't want and the ones I don't want them to have/see. Every time I do this I end up deleting/uninstalling them off my account. Is this possible and if so how do i do this. This is my first forum and hope I am in the right area I apologise if I am not Thank you

From your administrator account run Windows Explorer, Tools / Folder Options / View, Show hidden files and folders. Then browse to C:\Users\Public\Desktop, you'll find the shared icons. You should also see each user and be able to adjust what they have or haven't got on their desktops. I suggest that what you want to retain on your admin desktop but suppress from theirs goes from Public to your admin space.

If you can't get it the way you want to, come back and we can try breaking it down into more explicit instructions.
