Most (if not all) applications actually are available to all users, it's a matter of the shortcut icons not showing up in the user's start menu. Sometimes an application will only place the icons in the menu folder of the user installing the applications.
If a program that you want to make easily accessed by everyone does not show up in the start menu of users other the one who installed it, follow the following steps:
1. Open the start menu folder found in the profile folder where it presently shows up (found at (default) c:\winnt\profiles\ in Win NT, and at (default) c:\documents and settings\ in Win2K and Win XP).
2. Find the programs you want to have everyone access and either copy or move the program shortcut(s) to the same location under the All Users folder.
All program shortcuts will now show up in the start menu of all users.
