I am a new user of a PC with XP Professional at home and
have DSL internet service. As administrator for our
family, my administrator account is the only one with
access to DSL's Connection Manager on my desktop. Once
I've connected, other users can sign on to their internet
accounts, but I want everyone to be able to initiate the
connection via Connection Manager. How do I get that
Icon on everyone's desktop? Thanks!
 
Is this connection manager to which you refere a part of softwarwe from your
service provider. If yes, you may have to install that software in each
user account to which you wish to grant access.

Most applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.

First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.

Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
