We just got a new computer.
We have windows xp and ms office / word 2003.

We have 5 user names on the front opening screen of
windows xp.

we went into one user name: eddie:
we opened up start, programs, ms office:
there we saw ms word, ms excel. etc..
we clicked on and dragged ms word over to the desktop to
create a shortcut icon.

now here's the problem:
Ms word has disappeard from the start/programs / ms
office menu? how do we put it back?

and two: the icon is only for the 1st name eddie. it
doesn't show on the other 4 user names when we log off
the Eddie user and log on another name? and we can't copy
and paste it from eddie to the other names, nothing
happens.

question 2: how can we get the shortcut icon to appear on
the other user names also.

queston 3: what is the name / path of the start up file
for ms word 2003.

please email me at : (e-mail address removed) with the answers.
thank you very much.
 
Office programs use Windows Installer shortcuts not Windows shortcuts.

Search for winword.exe in the Office folder in Program Files.

You dragged the Windows Installer shortcut from All Users to one user's desktop. Only an administrator (or if using Fat32 anyone) can do this. It's assumed Admins know what they are doing.

Right click Start button and choose Open All Users. This is the shared part of the start menu.
