<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Barbara,<br>
<br>
In Windows 7, the "All Users Desktop" location has been changed
from what <br>
it was in XP. It is now located in:<br>
<br>
C:\ Users\Public\Desktop<br>
<br>
The easiest way to make a shortcut available on this desktop is to
follow these steps:<br>
<br>
Step 1:<br>
<br>
Create a shortcut to the "alice.exe" file where you have installed
Alice 2.3. <br>
I did this on my personal computer (where I have installed Alice
2.3 on the C:\ drive, in the Program Files (X86) folder. When I
created a shortcut, Windows 7 would not allow me to create the
shortcut within the Alice 2.3 folder so I had to create it on the
desktop. But, this is my own "single user" desktop, not the
"public all users" desktop. (This is why you need to do the
second step.)<br>
<br>
Step 2.<br>
<br>
Right click on shortcut that is now on your "single user"
desktop. Select "copy" from the pop-up menu. Then, use Windows
Explorer to find the all users desktop, which is located at:<br>
<br>
C:\ Users\Public\Desktop<br>
<br>
Now, paste the shortcut in the public users desktop. (After you
get the "all users" shortcut on the desktop, you can drag the
"single user" shortcut into the recycle bin.)<br>
<br>
That should do it! A shortcut icon should appear on the desktop
for any user who<br>
logs into that computer.<br>
<br>
Hope that works for you!<br>
Wanda<br>
<br>
