How to install for "All Users" under W2K?

I tried creating a simple NSIS script and create my shortcuts using $DESKTOP, etc.

It works fine, but creates them under the current user (in this case the Administrator). When I re-login under a different user name my app is not available (i.e. all the shortcuts are not visible).

In order to fix this I had to manually move all the shortcuts from the Administrator's folders to the "All Users" folder.

How can I tell NSIS to use "All Users" by default when adding shortcuts to the Desktop, Startup and Programs? (i.e. $DESKTOP, $SMSTARTUP and $SMPROGRAMS should point to the "All Users" folders, not the current user).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Look at Justin's reply in


Don't forget to create the directory first.

Thanks, that should do very nicely.
