When you installed the programs, you may have been given the option to
install for "All Users" or just for the account in which you were
working. If you didn't choose "All Users", uninstall/reinstall the way
you want. If you are just talking about not having an icon in Sarah's
Start Menu, right-click on the Start button and then left-click on
Explore All Users. You'll now have the familiar two-paned Explorer view
and will be able to see the Start Menus for all users on the system.
Right-click-drag-copy icons from (say) your Start Menu to Sarah's.
