Many newer programs were designed to work in a multi-user environment
however, since your applications were installed prior to creating a new
user, you may have to check their options to see if you can give access to
another user.
Most older applications weren't designed for this type of multi-user
environment.
Such applications need to be installed in each specific user's account to
whom you wish to grant access.
First, be sure the account to which you wish to grant access is set to
administrator and not limited. Install the applications to the same folder
in which it was originally installed. This will look the same as one
install on your hard drive but create the pointers necessary for this user
to have access to the application.
Once the installation is complete, you can return the account to its limited
status if that is what you want and the user should still have access.
