Running Foxprox 2.6 in XP with Limited User

I need to run a Foxpro 2.6 app on an XP system on a small network. All the workstations run with Admin rights because the other 5 users are trusted. They want the workstation with the Foxpro app to be on the network (for Internet access and for their access to its files) but they don't want the users logged on to that system to be able to access shared files on the other 5 systems.

Foxpro won't run with a Limited User logged on and if this user has an admin logon I can't restrict the access to the rest of the network.

So the question is can Foxpro be made to run under Limited user rights, or can I modify Limited user by adding sufficient permissions to run Foxpro but still restrict network access?

This would SEEM to have an easy fix but so far I haven't been able to stumble on the fix.
 
Where are the temp files being stored?
What operating system is the network?
What version XP is on the Work station?
I run all my fp26a dos programs on a win2k network from work stations which are running XP-PRO, all users are power users, If I have a folder on the c:\xxxx which contains *.tmp files that folder has to have "full access" rights to all users of that computer.
