Strange since the information in c:\ProgramData\ should show up in
ALL accounts on the machine.  That's why I passed along that suggestion
rather than using %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs which
would appear only in the account that was active when it was created.

You could try the %AppData% path with the affected account.
