limited user accounts

[Julie]

I am running Windows XP home edition. I have set up 2
accounts; 1 being an administrator account and the 2nd
being a limited user account (my child). However, she is
not able to use programs that are already installed on
the computer, ie games, printmaster, etc. These
games/programs were for windows based operating system
but not Windows XP. I have not seen a place where I can
say what she can have access to, etc. What do I do?

Thanks much.

This is not unusual, as many programs will not run correctly under a limited
user account. And many applications that are "XP compatible" won't work
correctly because they don't take "limited" users into account.

Type folder permissions in help. Give them write access to the programs folder. R/c the Start and choose Open and Open All Users.
This is where the start menu is stored. Open is your personal items and All Users are for everyone. Move your shortcuts about.
