What is the correct way to install a progam as the
administrator for a user account with limited access?
The problem I am having is that I have installed a
program under my account but only want it to show up
under my kid's account. When I sign on as her, I can't
find the program! If I had signed on as her to install
the program, XP would not let me because that account has
limited access.
 
Hi,

Log on to her profile, right-click the setup file and use "run as", then
enter the admin name and password. Read this on running programs under
limited user accounts:
