well, if you go the start, then click all programs, you should be able to find the programs, and open them, right click once their open, and click create desktop shortcut or whatever.

If you installed it, did you install it to Program Files or the C:\ drive?

If you didn't install it and its just a program that you click one file to run then copy or move it to the C:\ drive or Program Files then get on your second account, find it again, right click and select Create Shortcut.

Cut and paste the shortcut to it on your desktop or your program menu list. Rename the shortcut if you like.
