Hello, we only paid for the brand new Windows 7 Personal Computer for my personal make make use of of during home as well as have set up the delegate user comment for my partner to use. The complaint we am using in to is programs that I’ve downloaded (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, AIM, Gtalk, etc..) do not crop up when she is logged in. Is there any way to get them to uncover for both user accounts but my carrying to download as well as implement them twice? Thanks!

If you are installing them from an account with administrator privileges, then they should be available for all users.
If not, and you have an administrator account, you can always copy the shortcuts to the All Users’s Desktop or Start Menu.

Hi there,
Sometimes programs will ask you during the installation process whether you want to install the program for the current user account only, or for all users of the computer. Sometimes they do not give you the option. Did you install Chrome, Firefox, etc. from the Admin account? If not, then the installers for those programs probably defaulted to single-user installation. In the future, install programs from the Admin account if you want them to be accessible to all users on your computer.
Here’s an FAQ on User Accounts for more information: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/User-accounts-frequently-asked-questions
