I installed Firefox as an administrator on Windows 7 Pro and then created other standard users on the computer. They can't assess Firefox, how do I fix it?

Now the Firefox icon shows up in my task bar, as administrator, but not for the standard users so how do I get the icon onto their task bar so they can click on the icon to open Firefox, please?

Hello,

I haven't used standard accounts in a while, so I can't guarantee this will work. Note that it should create the icon on the Desktop, not create it as a shortcut on the taskbar (standard users can do it themselves after). I think you can add it to other accounts by adding it to either the Public or Default folder (not sure which one):

  • Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox", or wherever your Firefox is installed
  • Create a shortcut under "C:\Users\Default\Desktop"
  • And/or the shortcut under "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop"

Hope that helps.
