Instead of copying them from one profile folder to another, you should move them to the "All Users" folder. In this way they become visible to all users, current and future. |

Pegasus, I just tried your suggestion. The icons appear, but when clicked
they attempt to re-install the apps. I am trying to avoid re-installing the apps. How can I acclomplish this? Thanks, H.M.

This depends entirely on the application itself. I recommend
you post your question in a newsgroup that deals with this application.
