My daughter has just got a computer for xmas and was installing some games.
However these do not always install across all user profile start menus. How
can she install and make this happen. She is set up as the Adminastrator

Ask an administrator about profiles and 'all users'.

Perhaps if you google about , it helps.

You may also have issues if installing on an NTFS partition, the games
files may be 'administrator' only files/folders. In this case having
shortcuts in all users won't help. Sometimes creating a user group
called 'games' add users to the group and setting the security on the
games folder to the new group doesn't work all the time.

I found more games work using a 2nd disk or use a smart partition
manager to create a FAT partition and put all games on that.

Although (for me) this still leaves those that need access to registry,
or CDs. I don't plan to let 2 12year olds access to the registry so it
looks like a 2nd PC for games only.
