Copy Shortcut for a program to other Windows' Users
Caller, Marvin, needed to have a program he installed in his user account be available to his wife and daughter. Here's the solution:
1. Make sure that when installing a program if the program gives you the option to install to just you or all users, choose All Users.
2. IF, that doesn't bring up the icon to the other users, RIGHT click and choose Copy on the program's icon, then Click My Computer, double-click "Shared Documents", Click Edit --> Paste. Now you can log into each of the other users, and copy that shortcut to the desktops of the other users who need access to the program.
We have two computers: 1)
We have two computers:
1) Gateway PC using Windows XP
2) New HP Laptop using Windows Vista
Cannot install an updated Program on the new Vista - can I use the Shortuct for a Program to other Windows Users? I have tried to reach the Advantext Company several times but to no avail.
No can do
No, it is not possible to share a program across two computers. The program needs to be independently installed on each computer.
