I administer a Win XP Pro system.
How can I share applications like Norton AV live-update and MS Outlook across all users?

Well there are two parts to this. NAV is already shared across all end users, and settings are not profile specific. Outlook is also shared (ie all users have access to it) but the settings ARE profile specific.

For live update to work for all users then all users need to have administrative rights to the local box. One alternative is to create an account for live updates service (in the service manager) and give the service admin rights to the local box.

I discoverd NAV live update works across multiple user accounts. I moved the Personal? Outlook email file to a shared folder and set permissions for all users to have access. This corrected the email problem. I got to it through email setings withinOutlook.
