Hi,

I created a new user on our home computer, and I want to move an icon (well,
acctually, access to that tprogam) over to that user. I cannot figure out how
to do that ... tried copying/pasting the icon ... and even copying the path
in the run command, but still cannot get the icon on her desktp. Thanks for
any ideas.

Did you copy the shortcut from your desktop to

C:\Documents and Settings\<Other user>]\Desktop

If yes, do you see any error when trying to access the icon from other user ?

Open up

C:\Documents and Settings\***USERNAME***\Desktop

Right-click a shortcut and drag it to the desktop and choose "Copy here"
from the menu that pops up
