| 343332 | 2005-04-10 00:20:00 | Have a new computer with XP which appears damn complicated to an ME user. One of the family has downloaded Winmx to their user account. How can it be made that every body on the computer can access it, surely we dont all have to download into our seperate accounts? Theres probably something on the XP instructions in the computer but I cant find it. Any ideas? Thanks, Clod :o |

When logged in as the user who installed the program, right click on the start button and click explore or explore all. Go to the user who installed the program and cut the links from their programs folder. Then go to the all user folder and paste the links into the program folder. This way all users will have access to the shortcuts. The only problem you may encounter is permissions but will worry about that if you get access denied. Post back if that happens. PS: you can also find the user profiles in My Computer under Documents and settings. |

The all user account is a hidden system directory so you will have to unhide system files and special system folders. |
