How to install software for all users as an Administrator?

Hi there,

I am an IT Technician working in a private hospital. I want to know how I can install software for all the users using that PC as an Administrator.

For example sometimes I want to install a Disk Cleaner so that its available to all the users on the same PC so that any user logs in to the PC, he sees the program and use it.

This is to save time or installing the software for all the user accounts (same PC) one by one.

We have Windows XP systems here and I have the admin rights.

    - Install software from the administrator's account;

    - Create shortcut and drop it in the "All User" desktop folder (or, if a shortcut is automatically created as part of the install process, move it from the installer's desktop folder to the "All User" desktop folder.

    its easy, set your other accounts to no restrictions or not limited on the user accounts. anyway, if you installed programs on the administrator, most of the time it atomatically can be used on any user of the same pc.
