I want to be able to install an application so that all current users and future users will have the application available to them. I have been installing the application with the admin account but the limited user accounts cannot 'see' the new applicatio
n. I know there is a way to do this, I just dont know how to do it under XP.

The probelm is how programs are written. Many don't "Know" about XP's
Multi-User nature.
Often, you can just drag a copy of it's icon to the user profile. But,
sometimes, You need to re-install the application to the same loction
from the users account. You may to temporairly give them Admin rights.
