I'm trying to copy program icons from one user profile to another on a win xp
pro machine. This machine is on a domain. How can do this without having to
reinstall all the programs to the new user profile?

I hope someone can help me.

Thank you.

Instead of copying them from one profile folder to another,
you should move them to the "All Users" folder. In this way
they become visible to all users, current and future.

Thank you. So all users will be able to launch the programs associated with
the icons?

Most likely, unless the programs require elevated privileges.

Pegasus, I just tried your suggestion. The icons appear, but when clicked
they attempt to re-install the apps. I am trying to avoid re-installing the
apps. How can I acclomplish this?

Thanks,
H.M.

This depends entirely on the application itself. I recommend
you post your question in a newsgroup that deals with this
application.
