I can't share programs over user accounts, help!

I install games such as The Sims 2, Age Of Empires etc on my account, but
they cannot be accessed on other accounts in the computer... any ideas?

I've had this problem, too, with programs such as Office2000 and OfficeXP --
I install it from my personal administrator account, wherein it works fine;
but if I try to access Word, etc., from another user account (even if that
user has administrative privileges), XP prompts me to insert the Office CD
so that I can install the program. If I cancel out of the installation
process, Word would load fine.

I think your problem and mine are related, as they are a problem with
installing programs over all user accounts.

Any thoughts, anyone??

Thanks.
