installing new software

[Guest]

New computer and I'm installing all the kids games and other software. the problem is that they can only seem to access it from my user login. How do I install so that all users can access the programs without making them all administrators??
I'm such a rookie.

Hi Gerry,

This frequently happens with older software. What you need to do is install
it while logged on as each user. In a limited account, you will need to
right-click the setup file, then use "run as". Here you can enter the admin
name and password which will allow the software to install. You may also
have to adjust permissions on some folders for the software to function
properly, this article can help:
