XP Home SP2.

Have just installed XP Home, set up 2 users both admin
status. Some programs, upon installation, do not ask
about availibility for all users. For example Winamp.
Winamp is now only available to the user that installed
program. How can the other user now share Winamp??

Move the program shortcut located in C:\Documents and Settings\"user's
name"\Start Menu\Programs\"program" to C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs.

Click to expand...

Some programs are not compliant with a multi-user operating system
environment. The best way to solve the problem is to simply reinstall the
program, to the same location where it was originally installed, while
logged on with the other user account.
