HOW DO YOU MAKE APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS?

[pll7538]

I installed Windows 2000 on a computer and set it up for two users. I signed on as user1 and installed Office 2000 and set up the Internet connection and made desktop shortcuts to Excel and Word. I then signed on as user2. Office does not show to be installed and the same goes for Internet access. Is there a way that I can make the applications installed for user1 available to user2 without having to reinstall them?
