Check the location of where your program resides via properties tab of entry
in "All Programs"
You can check / change the accessibility of folders for particular users by
right-clicking the folder > Properties and looking at the security tab in
Safe Mode.
Alternatively install this program to have the security tab visible in
normal mode

Limited users don't have access to the "Documents and Settings" folders of
other users, by default. This can be changed via this security tab.

'All Programs' in the Start Menu for each of the limited user accounts, the
appropriate titles appear yet some work and some do not. The links are
identical to those under the administrator account yet the programs won't
run (messages include 'need to install software' or 'folder to which the
short-cut applies does not exist').

software unless I denied them permission.
