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 Cheers, Walker Windows Outreach Team Hi there,

If not, and you have an administrator account, you can always copy the shortcuts to the All Users's Desktop or Start Menu.
