5774.0. "how to make common groups" by PTOVAX::PEARLMAN () Wed Mar 05 1997 08:25

    How do you make applications common in 4.0.  This is really a two part
    question.  I installed Microsoft Office and Keaterm from the
    administrator's account and now I want to use/see them from my account.
    
    In 3.51 from file manager|file|new you create a new common or local
    group.  How do you do that in 4.0?
    
    How do make existing apps part of a common group?  Do you just create a
    common group and then move the icons there?

    Move the application folder from \WINNT\Profiles\specific_user\...
    to \WINNT\Profiles\All Users\...
5774.2can it be done automatically?PTOVAX::PEARLMANFri Mar 07 1997 05:374
    I moved the shortcuts between the administrator profile and mine and
    that seemed to work.  That raises the other question, when you install
    Microsoft Office is there a way to install it that this happens
    automatically?
5774.3I asked the same question a while back...SMURF::PBECKPaul BeckFri Mar 07 1997 09:433
    See topic 5502 where I asked the same question. The general answer
    is no -- it's up to the installation program to install in a common
    or user group.
