How that works is entirely up to the application and installer writers.
In the simplest case, they goofed and installed their program shortcuts
in your profile. You can move them from your profile to the All Users
profile (from C:\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Programs to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs).

If that doesn't work, try installing the program again to the same
location from the other user accounts.

If that doesn't work, then some programs can be made to work for limited
accounts by changing permissions on app files and registry keys. Post
back for more details if this is required.
