Programs available to other user accounts in Windows 8

RainfallWithin

In Windows 8, I'm trying to find the list of programs on my computer and to be able to tick and untick the programs I want to share with other local user accounts.

 

I also want to be able to install programs only for one user account and not have to see it on my administrator account.

It works exactly like in Windows 7.

To do what you need, you can add or remove icons in the "Start Menu" folders, located:

All Users: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Current User: C:\Users\<USER ACCOUNT>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Note: If you remove a program that some other user has it pinned on the Start Screen, it won't disappears, but the tile won't work when click on it.
