 User Account Start Menu I have purchased PC with Vista Home Premium OEM which came with Microsoft Works installed. Have set up Administrator and three other accounts. Only Administrator and one of the other accounts has Microsoft Works in the start menu. Like to put access to Microsoft Works on the other two user account start menu. How can I do this ?

| Re: User Account Start Menu Eddie If you place a shortcut to the program in the 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' folder, it should appear on all users start menu. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Eddiemac" <Eddiemac@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:15D4785A-865D-4210-BBED-52F2BC7803AC@microsoft.com...

| Re: User Account Start Menu Eddie Log on with your administrator account. Go to the shortcut that you use to start the Microsoft Works program. Right click the shortcut and select Copy. Next, go to Start and double click Computer. This will open an explorer window. Navigate to the following folder. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. In the programs folder, right click and select Paste. This will place the shortcut in that folder. This should make the Works shortcut appear on all users desktops. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Eddiemac" <Eddiemac@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:57E08523-EF9C-4085-8707-B395AAF7F6F3@microsoft.com...

| Re: User Account Start Menu ??? When I double click on Computer I get a window showing the various disks on the right hand side and list of folders on the left. I have double clicked the HP (C) disk but there is nothing called ProgramData there. "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Quote:

| Re: User Account Start Menu Eddie Open Computer and click on Organize. In the drop down menu, click Folder and Search Options. Click the View Tab. Look in that menu for the "Show hidden files and folders" option. Select that option and click Apply/OK. This should make the ProgramData folder appear. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Eddiemac" <Eddiemac@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:35742993-1B37-498F-AAF1-30BB7AD2CAEE@microsoft.com...
