I am new to XP. I have xp home version. I am set up as
administrator and my son is setup with limited access. I
install games under my user account. When he uses his
user account, he can not run the game. Is there a way to
fix this?
TIA

Fixing this depends on the software that is not=20
installing correctly.
Some can be fixed by granting Users modify on the=20
directory where the software is installed.
Some require further efforts.
The most simple way to grant this permission is in=20
a safe mode (F8) boot. R-click on the folder where=20
the application is installed, and select Properties.
Then use the Security tab to check Modify for the=20
Users groups.
