Copy programs to several user accounts

I have copied MS word and excel links from the Office to my user account, but when I go into one of the other accounts I am more able to find these applications to create shortcuts on the desktop (or even access) products.   It is possible that I moved the entire application on the desktop of a user account and I'm no more able to bring him back or access it from other accounts.

Any ideas how to fix?

It seems that you install instead of a single account for all accounts on the system.  For some programs, there is an option ask this during installation (I don't know if this applies to the office or not, but I thought that this was the case).  In any case, there is an easier solution than uninstalling and reinstalling Office assuming that could fix things.

In any case, here's how to solve the problem.  I don't know if you'll be able to do both for the whole office or if you must do this for each individual request, but anyway, this should work to get access to all users of the system. http://www.Dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-share-programs-with-other-users-in-Windows-.html I'm not sure if this is going to create shortcut icons - so you may need to create shortcuts in any of the added accounts (using the new information and not the information the account alone who works first) and then you can copy this set of shortcuts for other user accounts (if necessary - it can do it automatically - I'm not sure and just wanted to cover all bases).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • I have to add several user accounts to understand?

    I could create a situation particularly on Windows 8, in order to better understand where I have all of these potential users say on a single machine, and I'm all user accounts. "These people" have access to this computer, and then I create a guest account. I am studying computer science and IT, and it's a sort of curiosity, if you want to.

    One thing I noticed is that i can use incalculable resources on my hard drive that could fill and get bogged down I'm afraid. What do you think of all this? Vista seems to be the prototype, but you know that it applies to several versions of windows.

    Yours truly,

    Hi Charles,

    Thanks for the reply with more information.

    In Windows 7 you can do, is you can create a new administrator account as a standard account. Similarly, you would have all the privileges and access to all the features and the program in Administrator account. In the standard account, you have limited resources and probably can try different tasks and get to know the differences.

    And also, you can delete the accounts of users at any time.

  • Which is better to have several user accounts from window for the same person, so having much Firefoxes or have much Firefoxes under a Windows account user?

    Right now I have about 6 window user accounts (just for me on a single computer) because I didn't know I could put more Firefox then one per account. I leave the tabs upward when I close Firefox, because if I just bookmarks I won't finish my work I was doing with these sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under a user account. That would make my computer fast or not, it matter if I put all my Firefoxes on a window user account or have 6 windows user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
    -Thank you

    It is more work to move to a different Windows account and then open another instance of Firefox with a different profile.
    If you only use other windows accounts for the use of Firefox like this and not for any other purpose, then there is nothing against the passage to a single Windows account to make it easier to manage such things as the backup of your personal data or copy data between the other profiles.

    So, it's up to you if you want to switch to a single Windows account.

  • How to transfer programs from a user account to a different user account

    I want to transfer selective programs that appear in "All programs" from one user to another account

    If you mean you want an entry in the start menu > all programs to switch from one account to another on the same computer, which is easy.  If you're talking about two different computers, you are unable to do so (you will need to uninstall one and reinstall on another using the original installation media).

    WARNING: Some programs, such as Internet browsers, have "profiles" that are specific to each user.  If this is the kind of program you concerned, cannot move just the shortcut as described below.  If you are not sure, please identify what "selective programs" you want to move.

    Change the content to start > all programs on two accounts on the same computer

    It's easier if you have at least one account with "computer administrator" privileges  If you need to, you can use the built-in account named "Administrator".  The password of this account is blank (no password).  You can access the Safe Mode or - in XP Pro administrator only - from welcome with no other account connected screen by pressing twice CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    The key to this procedure is that the entries in the menu start > all programs are simply shortcuts that point to the actual location of the application executable files.  What follows is easier to do than to in order to explain them.

    Suppose you want to move an entry of account A to account B on the same computer.

    Assume that you are connected to the account A and that is a computer administrator account.

    • Click Start, and then select open
    • Double-click the folder programs
    • Scroll down the page until you find the program you are interested in or the folder in which it is located.

    If the account is NOT a computer administrator account and you are connected to the place C account, who is an administrator (or administrator) account, replace the first stage with the following text:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the account, i.e., A

    Now, open a new Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the other account, that is, B.

    N-click-drag the element from the first window of Windows Explorer to another.

    Hi gandt85,

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. are you able to boot into safe mode without any problem?

    Since you are not able to restore the system to normal mode, I suggest you to do a system restore to a recent date of WinRE using the full version of Windows Vista disk.

    Method 1:

    Do follow link below:

    Method 2:

    You can also try to run a scan using Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Check out the link:

  • Several user accounts in Windows 7 and Windows 10 update

    Hello

    I'll update my Windows 7 Windows 10 and I was wondering what would happen to user accounts on Windows 7?

    The situation is this: the computer is used by me and my brother, and each of us has his user account. There are different programs that I installed with my account and he installed on his 'side' with his user account. There are also a lot of files that I don't want to lose with the update.

    Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

    P.S. I read about backing up my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

    Is there a safe way for users to transition safely two accounts?

    -> If the upgrade goes well, both accounts will be maintained.

    I read on the backup of my files and I will not fail to do if there is no definitive answer to my question.

    -> Wrong question. There is no certainty in life and the view of upgrade countless problems reported in these forums, you would take a serious risk, if you have not backed up your files beforehand.

    You seem not to be aware of this rule of iron of the processing of the data. It is said that all important files should be kept at all times on two independent media. A lot of people ignore this rule. Here we see them when something goes wrong. It can be a tough lesson to learn.

  • Programs on the user account and the lost files

    Hi all, yesterday I came home after having some holidays and started my pc and when I chose my user, all my files and programs have disappeared, even my wallpaper was by default... So I went to: C:\Documents and Settings\(my user) \desktop and everything was there, so I moved all my important things for the user 'new '... Today, when I chose my user, I go to my former user, with all my stuff and my old wallpaper, but the things that I moved just disappeared... I need help, these things that I've lost are really important...

    Not good.

    You initially suffered a corrupted profile.  When this happens, Windows compensates by logging in with a temporary profile that is deleted when you disconnect you.  What you should do at this point is presented in one of the following articles:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >
    or, Alternatively,.
    "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

    What you did instead was to move all your data in your temporary profile that is deleted when you disconnect.  You must be disconnected, that's what happened.  Files passed.  So, your best alternative is to this point to restore your files from your backups.  ('Very important' things are always saved).

    If you have no backups, then you learn now why they are needed.  You should immediately stop using your computer/drive, remove the drive and take it to a professional that can recover deleted files.  You can also (on another computer), you can search the Web for programs that can be used to recover deleted files accidentally.  Sorry, but I can offer no recommendation on such programs.

    Sorry and HTH.

  • several user accounts?

    I'm obviously new to windows 8 and windows 8 wants that each user to create their own Microsoft account to connect with.  With previous editions of windows, anyone could turn on your computer and access things like photos, documents, music, etc., which was stored on the PC.  So now, if everyone has to connect separately, how everyone has access to these things?

    is there a way to create 1 account in which you can have several "tiles" for each email users?

    any help would be a great help!

    Thank you

    Lindz_96

    In win 8 you have public and private folders.  If you want others to have access to data, you can be put in the public folder or 'sharing' your files.

    You can (and should) have individual logons (and emails), but it's pretty easy to "" share ".

  • Windows 7, Firefox 8.0, several user accounts, Firefox seems only to access internet for 1 user, IE works for all

    Most of the users of Win 7 cannot load the pages using Firefox, Internet Explorer works for them.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problem in opening and running LabVIEW in separate user account

    Hello

    I would like to create a 2nd user account on my computer in the laboratory that has LabVIEW 2011 installed on it. However, when I try to open LabVIEW in the 2nd user account there is an error code 1 and another message complaining about some dialogue 3 button VI.

    I found that I can still continue by clicking OK, except that now I can't start my VI, where I copied over my 1 user account. I get attached errors, including one that seems to be complaining of Simple error handler in my VI which runs at the end of my program error messages. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix the errors?

    Help, please!

    Thank you!!!

    Hi Vrinkle,

    LabVIEW is usually installed in "C:\Program files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW xxx ', where"(x 86) "is the version of LabVIEW application for a 32-bit version of LabVIEW on a Windows 64-bit and"xxx"brand (year)." In this folder you will find subfolders "vi.lib", "instr.lib" and "user.lib" - all the rights granted to your new user account need to access these files (like all the others those of LabVIEW file)!

    BTW. display your serial number on a public forum is not the best idea...
