Changing Wallpaper for only ONE user?

Hi all- I'm sure I'll feel dumb when someone tells me the answer for this one...

I recently set up a laptop with XP Home that my daughter and I share. Up till now all my machines have only been one-user workstations, so I've never needed to bother with Admin Accounts vs. User Accounts and such...

My situation is that I own the Admin account and she has a Limited account. She can change her desktop settings and has her own set of unique desktop icons, etc. The problem is hat she's 12 and chooses the most GAWD AWFUL wallpaper for her desktop, and when I log in as the Admin her wallpaper choice carries over to my account and vice versa.

According to the XP Help files, I should be able to "change the look and feel of any desktop without affecting the settings of another user's desktop". Does tis not apply to wallpaper? If you're supposed to, where is the setting that makes wallpaper changes only apply to that user's desktop? I've checked all over and Searched the forums but can;t seem to find it.

Thanks a million in advance!!
