First off let me say I am an XP user and this is about the wife's
Vista box so I may not explain it just right. Plus we are new to both
OSs having just upgraded from 98 a couple weeks ago.
In XP under Documents and Settings in Explorer there are accounts for
Default, All and Larry (The administrator me) and a Start Menu thing
under each.
On my wifes Vista in Explorer she has an Administrator account for
Connie (Herself) and an All Users account I believe it is. I am not
at her system now so not sure how it is worded. The Admin Account is
the only one set up because she is basically the only user other then
when she asks me to look at something for her.
The thing is that under the Start, Programs in the Start Menu on her
Vista box when you go into Explorer and look in the Start Menu
settings for both Connie and All Users there is a Programs group under
the Start, Programs that has Office, MS Works, ETC in it. So you
would click on Start, Programs, then Programs under Start, Programs to
get to the installed programs. But when we click on Start on the
taskbar there is no Programs group showing under Start, Programs.
Could it be the names?? My XP box has a Programs groups under Start,
Programs and it works fine. I hope I am explaining this good enough
so someone understands me.
I went to the Start Menu in Explorer for All Users and shared
everything in the All Users Start Menu to no avail. Right now I made
shortcuts on desktop for the programs so she can get to them but she
does not like them there.
Help.
