My OS is Vista Home Premium and there are four users on this computer.
I installed GoogleTalk as administrator but it got installed in c:
\users\<"myself">. Other users can't access this.

How can I install this such that all users can use this?

Thanx/NSP

Is there a shortcut for this application in your user folder? If there is a
short-cut, then you should be able to copy/paste that short-cut to the All
User's/Program folder so that everyone can see the short-cut on the Start
Button/All Programs menu. You get to All Users by right-clicking the Start
button.

The short-cut may reside in the folder for the application off the folder
called Program Files directory off of the C:\.

I did copy the shortcuts for all users but it didn't work.

I had to uninstall it and then reinstall as administrator.
