Multiple Users on One Computer

I have a problem...

There are multiple users on my Windows XP SP2 machine with MS Office 2007.
One user (myself) just lost access to all of Office (the icons etc
disappeared). The ONLY thing to change is the other user just used his
account and office for the first time. He has no idea what he might have
done.

I've tried logging in as administrator, but the icons etc are gone from
there as well.

How could this happen and how can I fix it? Other then copying the start
menu folder (for Office) from the other user to the default user start menu.

What happens if you create a new user account? And, since they're gone for
the admin, too, maybe create a new administrator account, too.

I think that the problem is that you should have the Microsoft Office start
menu folder in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
folder. So copy it from that one user to the folder specified above and all
accounts should have access to the Microsoft Office folder.

Hope this one works!
