Microsoft Office Pro 2010 - shortcuts for all users

IT services - Asked by university of the third age redlands inc. on Thursday, 7 August, 2014 - 12:53

Hello I installed the m.o. 2010 on the office computer this morning. It has two users - admin and other user. When I switch to "other user" M.O. Access does not appear on the Start>All Programs menu. Therefore, I cannot install shortcuts on the task bar or on the screen for "Access". All the other elements of M.office are on the start except for Access. Ironically, the lady using that computer as "other user" only uses the Access database to keep our membership records up to date. Luckily, we had a screen shortcut to access this particular database so we can open it by clicking on the shortcut then Access opens. Is there a "fix" for this problem? or an app we can install? -- Cheers Madeleine U3A REDLANDS COMPUTER CLASSES COORDINATOR

Madeleine, you can create new shortcuts directly from office installation folder located in program files

The above replies did not solve my problem. When logged on as standard user, other user or guest user (not administrator) Microsoft Office Access 2010 does not appear on the Start>All Programs menu. When I access M.O. thru drive C - the results are Microsoft Office 12, 14 and 15. When I D.Click on any of those three, the M.O. programs do not show up - therefore, I cannot create a shortcut or pin to task bar or start menu. Note: I can create shortcuts when logged on as Administrator but these shortcuts do not appear on the screen when I am logged on as standard or other user.

Hi. This is what i do for our computers. 1. Logon as Administrator 2. Create shortcuts for Outlook , Word, Excel , Publisher etc on your desktop 3. Select all shortcuts just created and right click and select copy 4. Goto computer and select your C: drive , then goto Users folder 5. Goto Public folder and then Public Desktop 6. Paste your shortcuts here. Now all users will get the shortcuts on their desktop Hope this helps PS you may need to change folder settinsg to view hidden files and folders.
