how do you install a program for a specific user account?

how do you install a program for a specific user account?

both start menu and taskbar.

I can see how I can modify the start menu for specfiic accounts.

But, a program like VNC, if I only want it to start up for one account,
so, also, only in taskbar for one account.

i'm guessing here, but
I suppose there are different ways prgorams can start up . (about 4
ways, you see looking for spyware). And maybe it depends which method
is used?
program startup mechanisms e.g. HKLM
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~ProgramStartupMechanisms~SoftwareEng
maybe HKCU or startup folder, will be for specific user.
HKLM for all users

any input appreciated.
thanks

Don't know what VNC is.

However, you can place it in: C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup unless it should be started when the user logs in and
is a taskbar (icon) type application. In that case, add it to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

or add it as a Quick Launch button on the user's taskbar:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

and add a shortcut to VNC there.

thanks, by the way, if you're interested, VNC is like 'remote
desktop' but 3rd party, and exists for many OSs. And unlike remote
desktop, doesn't log out/"switch user" , to the welcome screen, on the
other end. Useful program.

You could theoretically have a conversation with somebody , just typing
in notepad. Very surreal.
