Program access

I've just reloaded Windows XP. Can someone tell me how to get the programs
already loaded on the computer onto the Program list without reloading them.

Thanks

I'm new to xp. I loaded a program and it works fine,
however how can the other users on this computer access
it when it doesn't show up on their list of programs?

Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.

When you say "it's not shared" do you mean that the users don't have the
icons for this app or that they do but can't run it when they click on the
icon?

I replied to your last post at 15.54. Please be patient - this is not a chat
