Administrator installs program and when you go to explore, the program is visible with you go to C:/documents and settings/all users/start menu/programs. But when the user logs in the program does not show when the user goes to Start and Programs. If they go into explore they can find it that way. Any ideas?

Thanks
Tom
 
You mean the shortcuts (as opposed to the actual programs in program files) in all users profile can be accessed by finding them in explorer - but they don't appear in the start menu.

Are they visible from the administrator user?
 
Where is the program itself installed? Maybe you cannot run a program through start menu, but only shortcuts? What if you put the app in another folder and created a shortcut in Start menu for it?
