    I have XP with 3 user accounts. My acct is the only administrator account. I downloaded Limewire on my account, but my daughter would like to use it on her account. She does not have administrator priveliges. When she logs onto her account it does not show under programs. Is there a way to get programs on the "admin" account to show/run on other accounts? confused

    When downloading programs you want to share with all accounts be sure the file path includes "All Users" in it.

    Can you tell me how to do this? I appreciate the help!

    When installing programs I have found that if when asked where to download if you choose (for example) C:My Documents>My Downloads>Limewire it will only be available to my account. If instead you choose C:program Files>Limewire or C:Documents And Settings>Limewire it will be available to all users. If you save it to anywhere that says "MY" it will most likely be available to only you.
    Hope this helps.
