When I install a program on a workstation I would like all users who log onto the Workstation to be able to run the program from the startmenu, just as if I had installed it on a windows 9x machine....
But often the program isn´t there when I log on as a user..... It´´s accessible from the harddrive of course, but it´s not in the start menu. What to do???

Log in as Asministrator on local Workstation
then From explorer. HINT "USE THE RIGHT MOUSE ON THE START BUTTON".
copy the short cut for the program into the all users folder in C:\winnt\profiles\All users
This will allow all users to see the program that you have install

you installed the program as admin, and that's where the shortcut is. cut it from the adminstrator "programs" and paste it to all users "programs".
