Summary: Short-cuts missing for All Users

Initial Comment:
Using the Windows installer of Python 2.2 on Windows XP
Professional, as a user "root" who is member of the
Administrator's group, performing an admin
installation, the Python 2.2 program group does not
show up in the start menu of other users.

The cause for this problem is that the installer puts
the shortcuts into \Documents and Settings\root\Start
Menu, not into \Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu.

Notice that it is difficult to login as Administrator
on XP, since the Administrator account is not displayed
on the welcome screen (only if the old-style login
screen is selected). Even if installing Python as
Administrator, the shortcuts still end up in \Documents
and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu.
