I switched to XP from ME recently, and have never used my PC with different
user profiles. I set this one up with three profiles, with mine as the first
one (administrator?) I've been reinstalling software and now realize that
it's not available in the other profiles.

Also, as I'm going through my back-up "My Documents" file from before I
upgraded, I'd like to make some of it available in various profiles.

Any information on how to work with profiles is greatly appreciated.

You can copy your C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USERNAME]\Start Menu\...
items to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\.... for All Users
to have access under Start Menu | All Programs.

However, if these applications do not allow for Limited User accounts to
execute them, they can click on the Start Menu | All Programs and receive
errors. It depends on whether or not the Windows ME applications follow
Security Permissions compatible with Windows XP.

If you do not want to have duplicate entries under your Profile and All
Users, after copying to All Users, you can delete under your account Start
Menu\...

Then everything will be accessible from All Users Start Menu.
