I have set up a new user with a limited account.
I have installed a game (Vietcong) under my log on as
administrator. Why can't the other user see it in his
program list ?
 
Hi,

Because it's in your user profiles' start menu. Copy it to the allusers:

From:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs

To:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

You may also find that you need to install it under that profile. To do so,
right-click the setup file and use 'run as'. Enter the admin name and
password to proceed. You may also find that this article can help:
