If I install a program as administrator, how do I make it available to other users? Idealy, I would like the desktop and program access to be identical for non-administrative users as for admin, but without admin rights.
 
A lot of programs use installation routines that are not "multi-user aware".
Therein lies the problem. Try placing a shortcut to the program in the All Users
account (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs). This
should make the program available to all users.
