I've installed Google Chrome on a machine in Florida
and it works fine until you switch to the guest account,
then it doesn't work.
Why?
Thank you.

It is normal that several Windows application only install in the
current user "settings" when that user is installed. Chrome does not
install itself in the normal folder of "C:\Program Files\" but into
the user's own "application" folder(s) (ex: C:\Documents and Settings\
{username used to install Chrome}\Local Settings\Application Data
\Google\Chrome\Application.) It does not matter is you use the
Administrator account or noy.

Never noticed that before, thanks smlunatick
Apparently to install Google Chrome for All Users, you have to
download the Google Pack (you can just select Chrome). The pack is at
http://pack.google.com/

Google's support page on this matter is at
http://pack.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=118663&cbid=wa7pmmvu35xe&src=cb&lev=answer

Make sure you uninstall the old version first, and you may have to
anyway for Pack to allow you to download Chrome.
