How do user accounts work?

[muj]

I have installed xp and office xp and some other applications.
Created a new user account but this user canot acess office and other
applications when logged in.
When the user attempts to open ms word it tries to install office xp.
How do i solve the problem?
Do I have to install applications for each user using the same pc?

TIA

Hi,

On first use, it should run an abbreviated install routine. This is normal
and should be allowed in order to use the program under that account.

Some programs need to be install for each user. Office is one of them.
It may also require you to temporarily upgrade the user to Admin.
