Is she not able to use it because 1) there is no shortcut to the program
on her Programs menu; or 2) the programs won't run and exit with some
sort of error? If 1), then just add the shortcuts to her Programs menu
(from your administrative account right-click the Start button and
choose Explore All Users and right-click and drag the icons from your
Programs menu to hers). If 2), check with the makers of the programs.
Many older programs were not designed to work with multi-user operating
systems and must have access to restricted areas of the os. You can set
them up to do a Runas. Post back with more details of what programs,
the exact problem, etc. if you want more help.
