HI,

I have two users (both 'administrators') on my new Dell
using XP. I want to install Office suite such that both
users can see it in their START/PROGRAMS.

What directory should I install it so that this happens?

Please send me an email. I appreciate your help!

Thanks Hustedj!

I tried that. However, I can only see office installed on
the start/programs when i log onto the id that I used to
install it. I do not see it under the other id.

any thoughts?

also, i tried this 3 times using the install/uninstall swr
windows program. should i be concerned that the uninstall
program did not remove all the files? have i cluttered my
hard drive? should i reformat?

thanks
 
The basic/typical install of Office normally places the shortcuts in the
"All Users" profile.

Click to expand...

Easy...

Right click Start and select Explore all users

Navigate to the folder "start menu -> programs" that belongs to the user
that has the office icons.

Select the office icons and then right click -> cut

Navigate to the folder "All users->start menu -> programs" and select paste.

If you want everyone to have desktop short cuts as well then there is an All
users folder for desktop icons as well - works the same way.
