prevent programs installing shortcuts to multiple users accounts in win7
This is heavily dependent on the installer of the program, many of which give you the option of creating shortcuts either for yourself or for all users. If no such option is presented during installation, and shortcuts are created for all users, then it's simply a matter of moving the relevant shortcut files when installation is completed.
You can access the start menu like this:
Start Menu All Programs - Add or Delete Shortcuts
- All Users Start Menu
- Click the Start Orb
- Right-click All Programs
- Click Open All Users
- Private Start Menu
- Click the Start Orb
- Right-click All Programs
- Click Open
Just cut-and-paste the shortcuts from the All Users Start Menu into you private Start Menu.
