Hi, leonardface9;
To make a shortcut available to all users, it needs to be in the "All Users"
folder, or, as an alternate, you can place a copy in each user's folder; but
this will not make a program work under a limited account if it requires
admin priviledges to run, and some do. One can right-click the shortcut to
such a program and choose "run as," choose an admin user, and type the
password for that account in the resulting dialog, but I believe this has to
be done each time the offending program is started. Grrr. Simplest
workaraound is to make everyone who needs to use that program an admin user.
You may not wish to do that. Another answer is to search for a better written
program to replace one that requires admin priviledges simply to run, if you
can find one. Then let the offending developer know why you won't use their
product.
I've heard about using SP2 CDs rather than downloading from the internet,
but the only reason I've heard is to avoid the long download time over a
dial-up connection.
Regards,
Ian.
