It could be just as simple as looking for the executable on your wifes account and dragging it out to her desktop.  Most programs will be located in c:\program files or you can do a search on your hard drive for the name of the program you want xfered.    Hope that helps,   Blaade

duddits,

Move the shortcut to the program from C:\Documents and Settings\duddits\Start Menu\Programs into C:\Documents and Settings\wife\Start Menu\Programs. If you wanted the program to be available to both of you move it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs.
