I have purchased PC with Vista Home Premium OEM which came with Microsoft
Works installed. Have set up Administrator and three other accounts. Only
Administrator and one of the other accounts has Microsoft Works in the start
menu. Like to put access to Microsoft Works on the other two user account
start menu. How can I do this ?
Thanks

If you place a shortcut to the program in the
'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' folder, it should
appear on all users start menu.

Log on with your administrator account. Go to the shortcut that you use to
start the Microsoft Works program. Right click the shortcut and select Copy.

Next, go to Start and double click Computer. This will open an explorer
window. Navigate to the following folder.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
In the programs folder, right click and select Paste. This will place the
shortcut in that folder.

This should make the Works shortcut appear on all users desktops.

When I double click on Computer I get a window showing the various disks on
the right hand side and list of folders on the left. I have double clicked
the HP (C) disk but there is nothing called ProgramData there.

Open Computer and click on Organize. In the drop down menu, click Folder and
Search Options.

Click the View Tab. Look in that menu for the "Show hidden files and
folders" option. Select that option and click Apply/OK. This should make the
ProgramData folder appear.
