Just installed XP on new drive. Since installation when I
load a program for use by all 3 system users, it only
loads in the user where the installation took place.

Is there a way to load programs for all users?

Hi David,

Depends on the program - if it is not "user aware", then you will have to
load it to the same program folder under each profile. This is particularly
true of older software designed for Win9x systems.
