Using installed applications

[Guest]

I installed Quicken on my computer that has Windows XP Pro SP2 with my admin
login. But I can't run the program in my regular login. I thought that I
could run the programs that I install in my admin login on my regular login.
Do I have to change something for every new program I install? What class
should I take to learn about these issues? Does anyone know of a free online
class?

Thanks

Many software 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.
