Hi all,

Related to my previous question about swapping boot drives, I suspect I am 
going to bite the bullet and build in time to do a re-install and not try to 
band-aid it all.

Which leads me to another question.

My Win 7 machine will have at least 3 users on it (me, wife, daughter). Is 
there a preferred order to installing programs vs. users?

In the past in Vista and even in XP, I found that only a few well written 
programs actually ASK if you want it installed for jsut "you" or for "all 
users". Many of the programs I install are only for my use and don't need to 
clutter up everyone else's desktop or start menu. But try as I might, I usually 
find that most programs get installed for all. Then if someone removes the icon 
from their desktop, it disappears from mine as well...

So, I was thinking this time to set up all the program when I am the ONLY user, 
and then to set up the other two user accounts at the end. But if I do that, 
will they still have access to the subset of programs that they do use?

Really the crux of this is how to install programs selectively for some users 
but not all? 

Michael
