Don't know if this fits under Security / Admin or
elsewhere.

We're upgrading a small workgroup network to XP Pro
machines (Dell).

Have hit a bump adding user accounts under XP.
Applications were installed using an Admin account (MS-
Office, Quickbooks, other Manufacturing package, etc.)
Those installed OK and work from the Admin user account.

Have attempted to add limited user accounts and several
installed applications fail to appear on the new desktop.
They don't even appear as part of the START / ALL
PROGRAMS menu.

What are we missing?
 
Hi Jim,
I just got a new cpu running WinXP Pro. I have a related comment/questions, as the Administrator, I am trying to figure out how to accomplish what you are doing.

I want each of the Users to see and use the same programs that I install as the Administrator.

My search has taken me to Contro Panel/Administrative and Control Panel/Users. I haven't yet found the answer. If you find the solution, e-mail me at (e-mail address removed)
