you can make shortcuts on your desktop for any installed programs by going under "start", "programs", right click on the program you want to make a shortcut for and select "send to" "desktop (create shortcut)".

Follow "thebigdintx" advice from the kids desktop/profile
if the program doesnt show up for creating a shortcut then it may be installed under admin rights (which should be "you" under your profile name)
or for sole user only ( again you)
If thats the case it may be worth making a new folder in the shared documents folder, call it what you want, then drag and drop the shortcuts from your desktop into the folder,
then when using there profle/desktop access the shared folder drag and drop the shortcuts onto there desktop, see how you go
if no luck then only chance would be to re-install and select
"for all users" if allowed
