How can I make the guest account identical to the admin account?

I've been using the admin account for a while, and I haven't installed all the programs there on the guest account. Is there a way to make sure that the two accounts are identical (same programs, same settings, same everything). Is there a software that can do this for me?





I know I could have made sure when i installed the programs to also add them to all accounts, but it's too late for that now.|||highly not recommended, there is a way by editing the registry but if you did not know that already then you should not be editing it.





maybe try the Control Panel - User Accounts|||A guest account is used *because* it isn't an admin account. You can have friends or visitors use the guest account, which prevents them from messing with your files or installing programs you don't want.





There is no reason to have a guest account perform like an admin account. However, you can make another admin account, and remove access to the guest account.





Meanwhile, the Start Menu has an "All Users" version, which is seen by everyone, and a personal version, used only by a single account. If you see Start Menu programs on one account but not another, it is because the shortcuts weren't added to the "All Users" account.
