Setting Up Additional Users and Apps

[Jim]

I have just upgraded to XP. I have an Administrator and
3 other users. The administrator is set up with
everything the Users Require. I want each User to share
the same programs and initially have the same Desktop and
Taskbar arrangement. This way I know everything works.

The problem is that when I go to a User, the Task Bar is
missing shortcuts, and applications are not set up. The
primary application in question is Netscape Mail.
Everything is working in Administrator, but when I go to
a User, the application does not "see" the profiles
established in the Administrator.

Any suggestions to get everyone in sync.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

It's because some applications will simply not allow that. You need to
install them to the same program folder under each profile that you want to
have it. This isn't a WinXP limitation, it's a limitation of the program's
installer - it's not "user aware".
