I am running XP Pro as the system administrator. Some applications I have
installed are not accessible on limited user accounts. I have read Ms KB
article No.308418, and others. I have set permissions to Everyone, but this
doesn't make any difference. Placing a shortcut in the All Users Start Menu
/ Programs folder doesn't help either. Is it a case of having to install the
individual programs on the other accounts as well, for them to work ?

I have XP Home on another machine and have the same problem there.

Is anyone able to offer any solutions, please ?
