multiple users, but i want them access to all programs

[jotto84]

Here is the best example i can give. At work, the front desk uses one computer. It is going to be win2k PRO. BUT, there are about 4 people who use the damn computer, now it's like this all over the building, so i am cloning all the hard drives. Therefor i want to set this up once. Now, if I install corel word perfect, under administrator of the local PC, it works fine, adn i can operate th e program and ****. BUT when i go under Jane's (all clients are admin) profile, it shows word perfect in the strart menu and everything, but asks for the CD so it can "configure" it. This is not a major problem other than the fact that I would have to install word perfect on EACH profile, and On EACH desktop PC in the uilding, it would take hours. I have called microsoft, and they are too dumb to figure anything out (or i wasn't talking to someone knowledgable). So is there anyway of resolving this other than Roaming prfiles on the server? Any suggestions? this is a bit cryptic, i know.

Put the word setup on a server share, and install it from there. When a new user connects it will find the files there. I think you can also avoid it by exporting the HKEY_Current_user\software\microsoft\office key and importing it in the new user profile. (I'm not sure about that one.)

i did install it from the server, but it is corel, not ms office

Sorry, I don't know anything about Corel.

did you share the Corel folder and also did you use the Profiles what users can take advantage of the share ? Right click the folder \corel select properties there mark share this folder then set the user (share name)and limit of access etc..

that is a good idea, but we dont have the NTFS file permissions enabled.
