Using programs in all user accounts

I've created an account for myself which is an Administrator account. I've turned the guest account off, and then I've created a new "Visitor" account which is a limited account that other users use. When I install programs with my own account which have Administrator rights, the other users can't use them with the Visitor account. They can only use programs that I've installed before I updated my ME to XP. How do I make programs work in Visitor account. I have also looked properties of program folders of old and new programs and the Security settings seems to be same.
 
Perhaps you could make your visitors part of the administrative group. Or have a look at the following articles in the Help and Support program.


To assign a different user name to a program shortcut

To start a program as an administrator
 
I'm having the same problem. I loaded a program (CODA FINANCIALS) as the administrator/server domain however, none of the other users can access it when they click the program.exe. It just says it can't see the server. Any answers on this?
