I have 3 accounts on my PC for family members. Now there are many programs loaded on to my father's account which are not there in my account.

Now i do not want to install each and every s/w to my and brother's account.
It'll be great pain to put and take out CD's. Also that i don't have some of the CD's. But they are already present on the PC(father's account).

Give me a solution.

Most probably the programs shortcuts are the only ones that are missing... In your dad's account, right click on Start menu->Programs and select Open. Right click again and select Open All Users... Transfer shortcuts from Your Dad's local program list to everyones list... Then, make sure any access priveledges are provided.
