Windows XP New users

[Mrobinson]

When loading Windows XP, the original user is set with
admisistrator privledges and has control of the computer,
however upon creating new users, irregardless of what user
class they are assigned to, they do not have access to
other programs on the computer such as Word, Excel or any
other programs loaded that were not part of the Windows
load. I have tried making these inviduauals an
administrator but am still unable to grant them access to
the other programs on the computer.

How do I grant these users access to additional programs?

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.
