>when i do an installation and run the exe for the first time, 2 'foxuser' files pop up on the desktop. how can i prevent this?

If you aren't using explicit features of FoxUsers (resources Files) avoid his use (and creation); create an file calling it "config.fpw" (without quotes) and insert a line with RESOURCE=OFF
