Add additional users to XP Pro

Recently, I reformatted my hard drive, created an account for me (Administrator) and reinstalled my software applications. When I was I started to put in place other users but realized that only shows the software installed on my desktop. How can I get the software applications to other programs on other desktop computers, such as Office.

Hello

If you take a look at "c:\documents and settings, you will see at least two directories: with your user name and the other with the"All Users"name." Dig a little deeper, and you'll see a "Start Menu" point under each of them. The start menu, you see is the result of Windows displaying the content of these two: content of 'c:\documents and settings\all Users\Menu menu' and 'c:\documents and settings\ - your username - \start menu' are merged and displayed under the start menu in the system.

So if the shortcut for the program appears in the part "all users", then it will appear for everyone. If it is only in a specific user name, only that user will see the shortcut.

The point of all that is that when a program is installed, you must decide where to put its information: in "all users", or in a specific section of the user. Sometimes you are asked, sometimes it assumes, and she sometimes guess wrong.

Here's what you can try:

Step 1: Check if you are able to find the program in the other user accounts to:

a. start by clicking and clicking on all programs button.

Step 2: otherwise, re-install the program and for the programs that do, select "All Users" when it wants to make the program available to. You need to be logged in as an administrator to make it work, and you may need to uninstall it first (after backup all the data you need to keep, of course).

  • Add VPN users to 1801 router

    Can someone tell me how to add additional users to a VPN on a router in 1801. Currently, there are 2 user names, that we can use to get access via VPN but I'd rather have more than these two accounts admin mirror on our network. We use the easy VPN server (I think!) and I have virtually no experience on Cisco kit. Thanks in advance!

    You can post your config? Maybe your database of the vpn user's AAA server.

    But if the vpn user database is local to the router, simply add a new name to username/password.

    For example:

    0 username cisco password Cisco

    Just ask additional information here, but don't you have attached to the system that DW may be shifted upward on all media? External HDs with non-native filesystems for Mac, mapped network drives, flash cards, etc.? I had some problems in the past with file systems mapped applications seen as discs or a place to find files but could not read them (and death).

    Apart from this, please add more details such as what browser (s) you are trying to add, if they are installed in typical places, what level of your user account is (Administrator/user/etc), OS version and where 'exactly' you have the problem (when you open the dialog box add himself, when you browse the file system selecting and pressing 'ok', etc.).

  • Message to "Capture device offline" when you attempt to add additional clips from HDV camcorder, in CS5

    "Device capture offline" message when you try to add additional clips to an existing project in first Pro CS5.5.2.

    Previous capture has been accomplished, but, then, in trying to add additional clips of the same device, it failed.

    Every 40 minutes of excerpts of 185 was initially captured by using Sony Vegas Platinum 11 Moviemaker, without error. Additional clips of mt2 were then imported successfully into Premiere Pro after indexation, which conform clips, and they play perfectly well and high quality CS5.5.2 at 1440 x 1080i.

    Why the Capture device would be offline, where no physical alteration has been made to the equipment?

    Jeff,

    I'm now back at the base. Checked the anamorphic HDV on the server of the Studio and he was a con man, tired cable, the M6600 like me after spending six hours at an airport in China.

    Replaced cable and everything is fine.

    Thank you to all who tried to help.
