When you install a program, quite often one of the questions it will ask you is whether you want to install for the current user only, or for all users. Become a Patron of Ask Leo! The difference between installing for all users and installing for the current user only typically boils down to where the setup program places the shortcuts for the program, where it places any directories or support files, and possibly where within the registry it places program settings.
Sometimes it asks, sometimes it assumes, and sometimes it assumes wrong. So, what to do? Unfortunately, these ideas will not work for all programs. For example, manually creating or copying a shortcut may bypass additional setup steps that some applications require. Subscribe to Confident Computing!

What do you do if the program does not ask you if you want to set it up for current user or all users? Try installing it once logged in as each user. When I rebooted, I could not log in.

Also, you can hide the last username from the login screen through the registry. Other possible values for this parameter: 1 — show user display name, domain, and usernames 2 — show only user display names 3 — do not display users. If no password is set for the user account, this user will be automatically logged on, even if autologon is not enabled. Instead of the standard user icons, you can configure the user profile photo from Active Directory to be displayed. Note that Group Policy settings on domain computers can be managed by domain administrators.
