I have XP Home Edition set up for several user accounts
and a Guest Account. I am the only one with
administrative privileges. I would like to install
several childrens' games on the Guest Account ONLY. Can
that be done? What is the procedure?

Thank you for your help.

No, you cannot do this. Applications by default are available from all
accounts.
Workaround: create a limited account for the children and install the
application. Then move the shortcuts to the program to the START MENU
or DESKTOP folder in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username} so that you
do only see them in this one account.
