Description

Problem:

Windows Filezilla installs the Start menu shortcut in the start menu of the user that installed the program.

Software version: Windows XP SP2, filezilla 2.2.32.

Expected Results:

Filezilla installs start menu shortcut in all users start menu so all accounts have access to it.

Additional Info:

Same goes for Windows 2000 and 2003 and builds I have tried of filezilla IIRC.

This might not get fixed for FileZilla 2 anymore, but FileZilla 3 (beta), the next major version of FileZilla, still seems to have this issue with the installer.

The best way to fix this would be a checkbox/radio buttons to select whether FileZilla menu items should be created for the current user only, or for all users.

The silent installation of FileZilla ("Filezilla_Setup.exe /S") should get a parameter added as well which tells the program to install for all users or only for the current user. -- Feature taken from now closed "[ 1575230 ] Silent Setup for ALLUSERS"

The previously mentioned RFE was for the server, this one is for the client, so the other RFE is not yet closed.
